Two Brothers Hop Juice, might not be that fresh. Like many of their beers this fits in with being malty. Its a good beer,imperials are not really my thing though,Id rather have a Resistance IPA from them really. IM more of a 6-8%IPA kinda dude. I do enjoy the imperials on ocassion though. This ones above average for an imperial,its no Palate Wreker or Hoptimum or Hopslam though. More on the sweet/malty side,nothing cloying though. Its probably what you would expect for a semi-aged imperial ipa. It does have a fruit juicy sweetness to it(earning the hopjuice name)but it maybe is not bitter enough for me-likes. I was really expecting that kind of resiny/dankness,but was juicy fruity but good/enjoyable.

Goin to Beerhunt tomarrow and visit the lhbs to brew the brew over the holiday weekend,woohoo! Gonna be fancy too.Dont drink from your shoe.Cows say moo. Good way to look forward to start the weekend broodoo. Dont get the flu. You know what to do.

I just had a brew a few days ago called Hop Juice but it was from Left Coast. Is there another Hop Juice out there?

Crispin The Saint - artisanal cider with maple syrup fermented with Trappist yeast. The bomb.

Hmmm... didn't know different breweries could have the same name beer without infringing on copyright. Might have to rethink naming my dream IIPA Hoptimus Prime (it's going on the brewpub menu).

Sam Adams Merry Mischief Gingerbread Stout. I don't hate it, but I think my Christmas beer is better. Using a stout as a base is not the way I would go - I would use a non-hoppy ale. Something a little sweeter, and something slightly more carbonated.
