I was really anxious to give this one a try after hearing so many great things. Got this one straight out of Athens, GA, where Terrapin Brewery calls home. The beer looks like apple juice with a one finger white head that leaves some sticky lacing with each gulp. The aromas of piney and citrusy hops makes for one great smelling beer. The taste is what sets this beer apart from other IPAs. Hopsecutioner had what I would describe as a tangy bitterness, much like the way a tart grapefruit acts on your taste buds. But the hops are most certainly present, especially with a name like Hopsecutioner. This beauty had a medium body and was sharp across the palate. With the sharp, hoppy, citrusy flavors this beer brings, it makes it a nearly perfect standard IPA for the spring/summer months for me. Dare I say my personal favorite IPA?
