Introducing Hop Stimulator, an IPA we've dosed with so much hops that drinking one is downright transformative. Resinous alpha and beta acids intertwine with a muscular all-malt body to create a beer that's so bold, it's... it’s... MONSTROUS!

Draft pour at Lost & Found. Poured a clear orange color with a small head. Aroma was light pine resin. Sweet malt notes and some booze. Well, maybe a bit more than some booze, but it’s pretty smooth overall.

Bottle from Publix. Hazy gold with a generous white head. Tropical fruit, citrus hop aroma. The flavor has a lot of malt but it balances out with big hop bitterness.

For as much as I hate on these guys for their kitchen sink monstrosities, they know how to make a hoppy beer. Decadent hop nose. Big citrus, less resin, baked pineapple, some perfume/floral element. Full palate, somewhat cookie-ish, lightly toffee’d breadiness. Skirting that is a dense resinous hop flavor profile. Carbonic bite at the finish is the main weakness. Lingering tannic bitterness.
