Run for your lives. Born in the labrewtory, this double headed 9.9% ABV IPA is on the loose. Experiamental hop oils blended with fan-favorite hop varietals produce huge citrus notes, pine hop aroma and a crisp, dry finish. Mutated from the DNA of the Hopadillo himself, this creation is a whole new kind of beast.

I spotted this 1 pint, 3.2 oz can at the better HEB in town this past weekend. The can is sleeved-up to keep it cool while I do my review. Great Heights snifter ready, I pour and see an unclear dark gold body with an appropriate cover of icy white foam. The nose is rather full, there is cedar, nectarines, apricots and field. The taste is mostly WC inclined with a touch of NE style. Yellow fruit, distinct hops, grain, a bit of hard candy, malt, guava and straw. Nice to see a decent bitterness, I miss the old days. A Texas brewery of course, I’ve had several of their brews. This is the best one and I’m not a big IPA fan.
