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!

Clear golden appearance with thin head. Aroma and flavour have sweet caramel malts and ripe yellow fruits like honeydew melon. A good old DIPA.

[12oz bottle from Total Wines, Brea, CA.] An amber pour with a thin white head; innocent toffee aroma; immediate hit of hops in teh mouth though, quite fresh and leafy with some tea and a sweet caramel malt body; then a lingering peppery bitter finish. Not as extreme as the marketing would have you believe.

Keg at Brewdog Camden. Amber orange colour with big creamy beige head. Aroma is toffee, apple, creamy maltiness. Taste quite bread malty, quite a spike of bitterness, but much more malt. Maybe bit of biscuit. Caramel and dark fruits. Very smooth in the mouth, and maybe a bit of treacle or golden syrup in there. --- Beer merged from original tick of Lagunitas Maximus on 09 Sep 2019 at 16:06 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 9 | Flavor - 9 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8.

Blond ambré parfaitement limpide avec un col de mousse blanc cassé, joli visuel. Nez plein de promesse sur l'orange, le pamplemousse, la mangue, l'ananas et résineux. Et la dégustation ne le fera pas maintenir avec une IPA qui jouit à la fois d'un excellent équilibre malt/houblon et d'une belle complexité aromatique. A l'attaque, le poivre un poivre bien présent apparaît en complément d'arômes de résineux, d'orange et de miel. Si l'intensité est encore sur la réserve le duo malt/houblon est réellement superbe, permettant une bonne assise aromatique et cette fraîcheur du houblon. La deuxième bouche est assez exceptionnelle, gagnant en intensité, elle se complexifie également avec mangue et ananas en complément. L’arrière-bouche est quant à elle sur une amertume plus tranchante, avec un ressenti peut être légèrement inférieur aux 75 d'IBU mais saillante et permettant un bon contraste avec des arômes de pamplemousse prédominants. La prise en bouche est pour sa part bonne, et l'alcool, à 8,2% plutôt bien adapté (peut-être aurait-il pu être légèrement poussé). Si le final reste sur une belle amertume, la longueur est un peu courte, seul petit bémol à noter. Belle IPA.

Pours amber with a heavy carbonation and fluffy white head. Aroma of resinous hops. Taste is delicate and floral. Palate has oak and woody notes. Really good beer.

12 oz bottle, pours pale clear copper. Medium body. Faint pine aroma, and more pine than grapefruit to the taste. Strong hops finish. Decent.
