Our latest tasting was Anderson Valley's Hop Ottin' IPA. This beer won the silver medal at the 2001 World Beer Championships. It poured a clear, bronze color with a big head. The smell gives off a very hoppy, very dry nose. The first sip is very smooth and leads into a smooth, sweet, middle with a hint of caramel. The sweet middle does not last long as the beer moves into a very dry, very long, bitter finish. The beer is dry-hopped which leads to the very hoppy body. Overall, I was not overwhelmed by this beer, but then again it is not my favorite style. My final recommendation is to try it if you are a true IPA fan, but it is nothing all that amazing.
