Here is what Terrapin has to say about this beer:
Hear ye, hear ye … All hopheads shall herewith rejoice! Terrapin has recruited ye olde Hopsecutioner to execute the exact hop profile for this killer IPA. You may loses your head over this one.
I found the Hopsecutioner to have the following characteristics…
- Appearance: Clear, orange amber with very little foam or lacing.
- Aroma: Hops, pine, apricot and citrus.
- Taste: Mild, lightly carbonated, well balanced with a slightly bitter, smooth finish.
- ABV: 7.3%
The Hopsecutioner was a little misleading in that the aroma would have suggested a very hoppy and most likely bitter beer. Surprisingly, the actual taste was well balanced and the flavors were quite muted. If you are looking for a hoppier beer that could be a session beer, the Hopsecutioner is certainly worth a try.

While not one of my favorite IPAs this is a solid brew. Nice review.

A kind word and no mention of my death? Somebody give something up for Lent? And, you know I bought this for the bottle … shiny, nice turtle!

Yes for lent I have given up trying to kill you off and stealing your whiskey.

I never said that you were trying to kill me. You just seemed to be looking forward to my death and subsequent whisky looting.

Sounds like a similar experience that we had with the Hop Stoopid. Mrs. G-LO had this beer during a ladies’ night excursion. She liked it very much. Hoppy, but not overly hoppy is how I believe she described it.
And no… I am not saying that this is a beer for the ladies. Just saying that a lady enjoyed it is all.

Sure, throw out the possibility that the Wookie will come back with a ladies beer comment. Thanks.

I know there’s a sports metaphor that I should be using here, but the thought escapes me. How’s that for sending some possible abuse my way and sparing you of some mockery?
