Name – Hop Stoopid
Country – United States
Type – American Double IPA
Appearance – Pours a clear golden color with a big white head that laces the glass amazingly.
Smell – Big grapefruit and floral hops and some malt backing to it.
Taste – Big hops! Nice big grapefruit hops with some floral notes. A nice caramel malt backing to it evens things out great.
The name says it all on this one. This is absolutely one of the finest beers I have ever had let alone DIPAs. If you like big hops with a good malt backing this one is for you. This one gets the rare mark from me.
Overall Grade – A+

HAHA. At least you gave it a try. You wait and see the things I drink when I come out there.
May 29, 2009 at 4:48 pmI agree with your overall grade. Hop Stoopid is 1 of my favorite overall beers. Don’t gett he chance to get it that often, but when I do… OH BOY!

I’m also looking forward to going to the Yardhouse out there. There is one in Palm Beach Gardens and the one by you has different selections from breweries you can’t get down here. I’m so stoked!
May 31, 2009 at 2:30 pmI’ll check this one out Mike. I haven’t had it, and generally stay away from Lagunitas. In the past, there beer has let me down…but I’m always open to being pleasantly surprised!
June 2, 2009 at 12:53 pmI tend to find that Lagunitas special or seasonal brews tend to be better than their normal ones. I really liked Brown Shugga and enjoyed Undercover. I believe this is a seasonal as well.
