Torrential is what we want in a double IPA. It's big, dry, hugely aromatic, bursting with tropical and fruity hop flavors, and terrifyingly drinkable. A mix of our 2-row base malt and a specialty French base malt gives the beer a small amount of malt character without adding any sweetness or coming off as anything other than a very west coast style double IPA. The hops we chose to throw in the mix are a simple blend of our favorite hops that each on its own is hugely dominant in character, but blended together they produce a beautiful marriage of mango, melon, grapefruit, papaya, orange, and jack fruit.

Can. Nose is citrus, pine, some booze. Clear gold, oily, with a low head. Nice fruit flavor, dank and rich, spicy, resiny. Great body. Dangerously drinkable. Very good and better than their NE one.

Bright, light amber. Thin head. Some earthier sweeter malts, and a greenish sulphury hop nose. Bitter, but still a lot of sweetness and a touch of alcohol. Good.

32oz crowler, filled at the Berkeley location, pours with a clear pure gold body that supports a near white head of foam. The aroma hits with inviting juicy tangelo, cantaloupe, nice ripe orange and then a sense of the malt base. The taste delivers juicy notes of mango, grapefruit and tangelo as well as equally strong hop bitterness. The bitterness is grapefruit, a citrus zest sensation and some hop spiciness. Toward the finish the thin sweet malty base starts to show through. So nice. This is deep with a pleasing IIPA citrusy richness.

Keg at the brewery tap room, 29/01/16. Clear golden blonde topped with a decent off white covering. Nose is orange pith, lemon rind, pine needle, straw, juicy hop exhaust. Taste comprises grapefruit, pine needle, toasted malt, bitter orange, dank hop strokes. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi aggressive hop bitterness in the close. Solid DIPA ... good balance and drinkability.
