Sorachi Ace, Citra, and Columbus hops are given center stage in Superfluid, a Double IPA that blends the power of a Midwest IPA with the fruit-forward pleasure of a West Coast IPA. Pineapple and coconut mix together with a resiny hop intensity to create an incredibly balanced and expressive brew. Superfluid has the power!

12oz can - sampled at random. Okay double IPA - big hops - a throwback in many ways.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clear, orange to dark gold with a full two fingers of off-white head that lingers. Cream cheese and dill on the nose with warming alcohol and pithy citrus notes. More of the same on the palate with citrus, grapefruit and more dill aromas. Bitter on the finish with lingering herbal dill and lime pith.

On tap at Slow's BBQ, pours a cloudy amber with a medium beige head. Aroma is fairly malty, with bready malt, toasted caramel, and resinous hops. Flavour is quite bitter, yet malty, with lots of resinous hops, some bitter pine, and caramely bready malt. Very malt-forward yet not too sweet. Very bitter finish. Pleasant — certainly better than most hazies out there right now.

Hazy copper pour. The aroma is full of hops with resin and citrus. The flavor is very bitter and resinous with a solid malt backbone and some citrus fruit notes. Very good but doesn't quite come together to be great.

The Aromas are mainly resin hops with a little bit of citrus and pale malt. Flavors are similar to nose, hugely bitter with a little bit of sweet to help balance but it's still way bitter. Good carbonation although it doesn't help the bitterness. Wish I had not gotten a six-pack of this.

OK, another stupid ass IPA, from a bottle; none the less. From the start, its a big bullshit bitter bastard beer, even with the nose, its alarming. Volatile alky sweet burnishing hostile nostrils, burningly bitter bullshit is indicated from an aroma, if that's what you want to call it? Bitter, you know, breathtaking bitter like babble, back-logged, back-wood, backache, backbiting, backward, bad, baffle, baffling, bait, balk, banal, bane, banish, bankrupt, barbarian, barbarically, barbarity, barbarously, barren, baseless, bashed, bashful, bashing, bastard, bastards, battered, battering, batty, bearish, beastly, bedlam, bedlamite, befoul, begging, beguile, belabor, belated, beleaguer, belie, belittle, belittled, belittling, bellicose, belligerent, bemoaning, bemused, bent, berate, bereavement, bereft, berserk, beseech, beset, besiege, besmirch, bestial, betrayer, betraying, betrays, bewail, beware, bewilder, bewildered, bewildering, bitter. Got it? I would say terribly astringent in the end, but it doesn't start with bitterly B.

12oz bottle. Slightly hazy, chill haze looking tan body. Thin, foamy head. Some diesel hop tones that certainly come out with age, but fresh it is rather enjoyable. Has some resinous classic West Coast hop tendencies. Certainly not a World Class offering, but still a decent enough IIPA.

12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Ann Arbor Eisenhower, 3/31/16. Hazy yellow, large foamy white head, good retention. Aroma of resin, pine and pale malt. The taste is pine, earth, resin, pale malt. Medium bodied, well balanced. Solid beer.
