So mega-hopped it will take you to hop heaven. We’ve used hops in the boil, more hops in the giant hopback, and added to that, an incredible amount of dry-hopping for that cutting-edge “hop bite.” Once you’ve tasted this unique beer, all others pale in comparison. 1.072 OG Classified IBU 8%ABV

Draft. Amber gold with a big white head. Citrus hop aroma. Citrus flavor with pine resin and some sweet malt. Dry, but somewhat grassy finish. Good bitterness. Possibly some summer fruits.

Noogfest Clear medium yellow color with a good white head. Aroma is strong hops Amarillo maybe?? The flavor is well balanced and the hops give it a nice dry finish. Very well done.

A hazy orange beer with a huge light orange head. The aroma is lovely grassy and hoppy - like sticking your head in a hop plant. The flavor is sweet and extremely hoppy and grassy combined with notes of oil, caramel, and citrus.

Bottled. Deep golden, creamy head. Big grapefruity hop aroma. Clean, rounded, rich, solid maltiness. Very hoppy with extremely bitter finish that turns to ink.

Orange yellow, medium rough head fading quickly to a thin persistent layer, drippy lace left on the glass. Orangey and grassy hop aromas - also a darkish earthy aroma, possibly from the malt. Grassy and peppery hop flavors are at the forefront, light citrus hops barely present. Malt is very clean and light, a degree of caramel malt rises just prior to the finish, which features a bracing IBU bitterness. Palate is nicely smooth with malt, rather than the thickish tingly hop juice that is somewhat more common. I appreciate the use of noble hops to restrain the otherwise harsh Cascade and Columbus.
