sierra nevada hoptimum

[jourelemode]

has anyone here tried it yet? I got 3 24oz bottles right now and im cooling one in the fridge to enjoy in a few hours. What do you guys think? From what I know, this is a very limited beer. If I like what I taste later, i'm gonna pick up more before they're gone forever.

They are getting here (Wichita, KS) tomorrow. What did it cost there?

Here's a link to several reviews of it. Looks pretty good. I need to pick up a bottle.

I thought it was outstanding. In fact, I just got back from a trip to the bottle store over lunch to pick up a few more bottles. I drank the first bottle about a week and a half ago during my inaugural brew day, so it will always hold a special place in my heart.

I tend to prefer my DIPA's a bit more balanced (not a big Pliny fan) and this fit the bill for me. If you've had the Deschutes Hop Henge, I thought it was kind of similar to that (although I haven't had them side by side).

I think it's fantastic. Cost is 9.00 a bottle where I live. It has an amazing ruby red grapefruit hop flavor. Intense and delicious. Definitely my favorite SN beer.

I agree, it is fantastic. Hoppy...a beautiful red/amber...smells great. It was a great beer. I put one away in the "cellar" for later...but am considering having it tonight.

I picked it up with an Abyss and Black Ops...and by far, the best of the three. Enjoy that hop bomb, sir.

Drink fresh. Hops fade with age.

I got to try it this weekend at the World Beer fest in Columbia, SC at Sierra Nevada's booth. It was great. I can't wait to get some!

I am now on the lookout for Hoptimium! Well done.

 

[jourelemode]

thanks bro! I myself love reviews that get my mouth watering

I had a bottle this weekend, it was really good. A sweeter, more syrupy IPA but with a big hop flavor. I'd recommend it for fans of DFH 90 Minute.

My shops are out and I missed the bus. If anyone wants to trade a bottle or two for something I can get around here, please let me know. Thanks!

 

[jonmohno]

I got one sitting in my fridge,I was surprised to find it, but now is the time to drink it when its fresh. Ive noticed the Estate ale get less intense since it was out in( October i think it was) but it was really good fresh. Another great beer im shure.

 

[Gripon]

I thought it was fantastic, loved the beer and labeling!

 

[heyjaffy]

Picked up a couple bottles at around $9 ea. - drank one last weekend and thoroughly enjoyed. I picked up some SN Torpedo at the same time (which I also found quite good). Got back to the bottle shop this morning and only saw one left on the shelf (next to a few dozen DFH My Antonia and Sah'Tea that don't seem to have an audience in my area). If you like hops and find a place to buy, I'd highly recommend picking up a handful.

Bought a bottle yesterday and enjoyed it thoroughly!

It only cost me $7.99 + tax, I would have paid more.

I stumbled upon a hole in the wall liquor shop that had all sorts of cool stuff. 2010 Bigfoot, Celebration in bombers, all sorts of cool rarities and Hoptimum. Thanks for the offer.

But I'm always down for trading. The highlights around here are Founders, Bells, Goose Island, Jolly Pumpkin, Southern Tier, Great Lakes...

haha, I never thought about that when I was doing it. Good thing I didn't, i would've cried if I spilled some on this thing. I love my alienware...this has to be the best laptop i've ever owned.

 

[jonmohno]

Great beer if you like Torpedo Imperials or hops.
