BrewDog - Hop Shot

22% abv

Hop Shot is a high-velocity hop hit.

Our latest experiment in ice-distillation is a west coast IPA, subjected to Antarctic temperatures and concentrated by removing the ice that forms. The result is a 22% ABV hop grenade in a 110 ml bottle.

The aroma retains a huge amount of hop character – grapefruit peel, sticky stewed orange and yuzu, combined with heady pine sap and resin. The mouthfeel is full and warming, and layers sweet toffee with an aggressive bitterness. Firing on all cylinders with a hit of light effervescence, hop shot is India pale ale, quadrupled.

Our Review in under 140 characters: “What the bloody hell is this!? This is so bitter I recoiled on the first sip but you do get used to it. Don’t see the point though.” @lovebeeruk
