What You Need to Know
The Hop Bullet Double IPA gets its hoppy bite from a concentrated blast of Magnum hops and lupulin dust. So how was it? Let’s get to the review.
Appearance
The DIPA pours a clear golden hue and is topped by a thick stack of soapy white foam that shows fine retention. An aggressive pour yields the best results. Small patches of sticky lace cling to the sides of the glass following the head’s reduction.
Aroma
The aroma is fragrant with a scent of hoppy pine and citrus.
Flavor
The palate begins with cracker malt, followed by mellow pine, and then rises to a mild bite of grapefruit and spicy hops. The tasting finishes with a mellow taste of tropical fruit.

Mouthfeel
Its feel is relatively smooth but grainy on the finish. It has a medium-full body and moderate carbonation. Finishes slightly dry and astringent.
Overall
The Hop Bullet Double IPA has an excellent appearance and a pleasant aroma. Its palate is well balanced but hopheads would probably appreciate more bite. Nice flavor but the taste doesn’t quite have the complexity or intensity of a better Double IPA. But it does feel far lighter than it really is and is so easily quaffed. Enjoyable and don’t be surprised when the glass is suddenly empty.
Recommended Pairings
Sierra Nevada recommends the following food pairings with their Hop Bullet Double IPA: grilled salmon, lemon glazed chicken, triple cream cheese, brie, rich cow’s milk cheese, marmalade turnovers, and Crème Brulee.
