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.

Can. Pours a clear golden color with a small offwhite head. Aroma is very assertive hops, sweet caramel malts, and orange/grapefruit pith. Intense hop flavor; earthy, floral, grapefruit, pine, resin-like. Full bodied and a bit ABRASIVE. Some serious lingering bitterness happening here.

Pours clear golden yellowish with a smooth head. Aroma of super fresh hops, lemon, citrus, exotic fruits and malts. Taste is fruity, hoppy and lemony with some citrus, exotic fruits and zesty notes. Finish is warming and fruity with some zesty lemon and herbal touch. Nice, hoppy and fruity DIPA, but the alcohol comes through a bit too much.
