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

On Tap at Growler Guys, Meridian Slightly hazy dull light amber with a thin fine white head. Light pale malts for a big IPA, clean and well attenuated. The hop flavors are woody grassy and piney. A little of the bitter grapefruit pith. Harsh and bitter. Not my favorite type of hop flavors.

12 oz bottle. Pours amber with moderate head. Aromas of doughy malts and spicy, piney hops. Flavors of caramel, muted tropical, rubber, and resin/pine. Bitter piney finish. May be a little old but still quite nice

355 ml bottle, bb 10 May 16, from Firma Bier. Thanks to Werckmeister!
Dark amber, hazy body, with a medium, creamy, lacing, slightly yellowish head.
Aroma with lots of citrus and pine, also grapefruit, passion fruit, pineapple, biscuit, some vanilla.
Taste follows this pretty much.
Medium, creamy mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes perfectly smooth, medium bitter, quite dry, piney, citric, zesty, a bit malty.
Very tasty! Really surprising, even shortly past the best by date still crisp and hoppy, with wonderful citric and piney notes. Also perfectly balanced, with a lovely, smooth malt backbone and really easy for the ABV. World class DIPA, I’m really curious how much better this is fresh!

At a tasting, thanks, small stable creamy bubbly head, slightly hazy deepish orange color, citrus and herbs aroma, some fruit and straw, orange marmalade and herbs aroma with some biscuit in the back, quite strong but mellow bitterness, light sweetness. Nice and drinkable, not too heavy for a DIPA.
