Psst! Hey! Hey, you! You like hops? I've got something for you. Seriously. For those of you who need hops in their life, this beer is for you. It's borderline sentient with its hopdom. An enormous fluffy white head caps off honey colored deliciousness. The bouquet is awesome; bright and aromatic. It's kind of like getting punched in the nose by a pissed off pine tree who just happened to be eating a massive grapefruit. The taste is just as good as the smell. It's as if the oily resin of a ton of hops was just squeezed into a bottle and sealed. The triumvirate is all there: pine, citrus, and floral hops give your palate something to think about. There's a slightly sweet taste on the back end that is not at all distracting. A bitter aftertaste, though nothing gnarly, brings Hoptimum home. This is a fantastic offering from the guys in Chico. If you can find a bomber of this, grab it! It was a limited release that shouldn't have been missed by anyone!
