This beer was designed by Alex Buerekholtz an award winning home brewer. This brew is double dry hopped and could easily be a hop lover session beer. Death by Hops official page
Color Rating: 
Slightly lighter hue then the IP(DT)A…good clarity (clear amber). Exactly what we would expect.
Aroma Rating: 
Soft pungent hop aroma – more hop overtones then the IP(DT)A. With a name like “Death by Hops” you would hope to close your eyes, take a sniff and imagine yourself within a specialty floral shop. The hops to hit you in a non-aggressive way that triggers a reaction the Pavlov himself would be proud of. The malts are definately there but the name correlation with the expectation will unfortunately hurt the score here.
Head Rating:
If this beer has a head we were left out. This could be a factor of a short fill bottle. The lack of head is not a deal killer for us wanting more.
Flavor Rating: 
Strong earthy pungent hop flavor, with hints of malt in the back pallet. More malty as the beer warms, with occaisional orange essense. This IPA would be a wonderful compliment to grilled chicken and greens in an outdoor setting. This is a true Carolina brew…perfect for the long Springs and Falls.
Finish Rating:
Bitterness towards the back of the tongue, obviously dry hopped. Lasts a good while but all in the back of the palate.
“Reminds me of Green Man IPA to some extent…but lighter and smoother.” – Grubby
“Rather enjoyable, could be session beer, perhaps better with food” – Iceberg
