A massive dose of Citra hops launch our legendary double IPA (Minnesota’s first, and a nod to our abrasives factory origin) into the hophead stratosphere.

Refrigerated 16 oz. aluminum can from BVery (canned on November 27, 2013) poured into a snifter. Pours hazy light orange with medium white head. Aroma is evergreen hops, medium body, lower carbonation, and thin big bubble lacing. Taste is evergreen hops, balancing malt, and bitter finish. Pretty good DIPA with a nice richness.

On tap @ Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2013. This is a near clear lovely looking golden one with a medium sized heavy lacing just off-white top that's really sticking to the side of the glass. On the nose I get fruity resinous hops, lots of grapefruit, some nectar and even traces of kiwi. Nice and powerful. Really resinous and strong hoppy on the flavor. A comfortable and delicious carbonation level inside a mild oily mouthfeel. Again, grapefruit is present here, it feels really concentrated this. Loads of fresh hops! In the finish I get some clear notes of cognac. Has this been barreled on something? Anyhow, a really nice acquaintance! 03.05.2013

Can. Pours slightly hazy light golden with stable white head. Clear aroma of hops with notes of citrus and grass. Bitter, hoppy flavour with pronounced citrus notes and touches of fruit and grass. Dry aftertaste. Not aggressive or abrasive. Just nice.

CBC. Bit of tired end of session rating. Light haze on this gold beer. Little white head. Light palate, crisp and dry. Big marmalade hops, fresh and rich. Minerally crisp finish. Nice!

Tap at Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2013 - Session 1. Pours clear yellow with a fine, white foam head. Lots of fresh grapefruit in here, some melon and tangerine. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Good and resinous on the finish with lots more juicy, sticky citrus fruits. A really nice DIPA.

Smell is fruity with crackers, dried apricots, passionfruit, mango, lemon grass, grapefruit juice, lemon zest, freshly cut grass, pine needles and hints of resinous wood and alcohol. Taste is bitter and fruity with crackers, grapefruit juice, lemon zest, lychee, cape gooseberries, apricots, passionfruit, lemon grass, mango, starfruit, freshly cut grass, pine needles and resinous wood. Mouthfeel is slightly crisp, dry, slightly astringent and medium bodied.
