An ode to the Owens Valley and the Highway 395 corridor, this Double IPA is distinctly bolder than out Epic IPA and celebrates the aromas of wild local fresh hops, sage, and juniper.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has strong notes of hops and citrus peal, as well as some notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, malt, alcohol, over ripe fruits, and spices, leading to a dry grapefruity finish. Nice one. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

22 fl oz bottle. Pours golden deep amber with a small and off-white head. Aroma is dry, pine-wood and slight caramelish. Sweet caramelish flavoured. Slight bitter and fruity too. Fruity and roasted flavoured into the finish.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of JohnC. Pours an almost clear deep amber with an off-white head. Very spicy and juicy peachy hops. Medium body, sweet tropical fruit and caramel with a distinct perfumy hoppiness - pine and peaches. Bitter finish. Lovely. 231109

Sample at the Sam Adams beer tasting at Blacklick Wine & Spirits on 07/30/09. The beer is a clear orange-copper color with a thin white head that dissipates quickly. Stringy lacing. Herbal hops and fruit in the nose. Medium body with flavors of herbs, floral hops and earthy malt. The finish is fruits and herbs with a mild hops aftertaste. Just average overall, and honestly a little disappointing.

Bottle thanks to AmEricanbrew. Pours with a hazy brown with a ring of head. Aroma is hoppy and spiced with tea, herbal and earthy notes. Taste is hoppy, herbal, a bit catty with sarsaparilla and juniper notes. Light carbonation. Sadly, this one looses points from me as the sage and juniper are overpowering and looses drinkability for me.

Bottle. Copper beer with a dark cream colored head. Grapefruit aroma. Grapefruit and light summer fruti flavor with light caramel backing. Medium bodied. Decent bitterness. Grapefruit and light summer fruit linger. A bit too clean.

Bottle from the Coop in Davis, CA. Copper amber color with a three-finger beige tan head. Rather evergreen aroma, but not over the top. Medium body with creamy carbonation. There is so much hop. It is almost juniper. It is almost sticky with resin and malt. Sage? Might be. Mostly really evergreen. If you love gin, this is for you. The juniper just rolls around the mouth. This might be something to preserve the body for the ages!
