Colossal Double IPA
Maximus is our Colossal take on a Double IPA. 9% ABV. Full of Simcoe and Cascade hops balanced against tons of rich malted barley—a bed of smooth malted wheat, biscuity Munich malt, and English Crystal. Maximus’ massive dry-hop bill entertains with spice, floral and berry notes … For the hop heads!

12oz bottle. Pours clear gold with a white head. Aroma has bright pine and sweet caramel malts. Flavour has a ton of sweet caramel malts, fresh pine, candied orange peel. More of a sweet malty profile than I expected, but not cloying at all. Excellent.

Gawd is refreshing to get a goppy IPA that is a nice clear golden color. Bright though understated citrus hops, the big malt profile on this is probably making it hard for the hops to come through. Fairly big sweetness, but reasonably balanced. Boozy but not to a point where it dominates the taste, you can feel it after drinking the stovepipe can! Can from a Publix Oviedo FL

355 ml bottle from Systembolaget poured into a snifter. Slightly hazy golden amber colour with a thin off-white head. Fruity aroma with citrus - grape, caramel malts, and floral hoppy notes. The taste is bitter. Very bitter. Full body. Bone dry and bitter finish with lingering citrus. Lacks somewhat finesse. Raw, very hoppy.

A golden-orange beer, a head is quite big and blond. Aroma has citrus of grapefruit, fresh pine, light sweetness of fructose. Taste has pine, light citrus, sweetness of fructose and bitterness are in the great balance. Medium+ bodied. Great beer, an old-style, I like this.
