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!

The aromas are fresh old school hops and caramel malt. Flavors are like nose, with an easy balanced bittersweet plus good carbonation with full body and finish that follows flavors. Alcohol is hidden.

12 ounce bottle. Amber orange pour. Smallish frothy beige head. Sweet honey malt aroma. Flavor is sweet, toasted malt. Notes of stone fruit, honey, citrus and sticky, dank hops. There really is a wonderful balance going on here. Really enjoyed this.

I sampled Lagunitas Maximus early in my RB days. Liked it a lot. And IPAs are a ways from being my favorite style. So now I have Maximus Colossal to try. I’m going with a globe glass for this one, I determine a dark gold body and a strong head of parchment colored foam. The nose, ah, a glorious west coast styling. Hoppy, citrusy and an indication of sweetness. A drink confirms it all, grapefruit, a pineapple sweetness, pine, slightly dank and a thickness from the higher abv percentage. Quite good.
