What’s in a name? The brewer’s mantra, "more hops," is taken as far as possible in this beer. A deep amber body balances the bitterness and makes that long day at work seem a distant memory. Just ask for a pint of "the dank!!" This beer is also dry hopped with whole flower, Cascade hops.

Well done for the style, a bit astringent, but i think that’s just the bitterness being a bit much for balance. Mountain sun boulder

Sample at Vine Street. Orange in color, it’s got a malty aroma and a crisp light body where the dry finish gives notes of malts and orange. Nice.

Tap at the Vine Street Pub, Denver. Poured a cloudy medium amber with a thin white head. The aroma is big classic IPA hop. The flavour is medium bitter with a hoppy liqourice palate and a strange and not entirely pleasant bitter finish.

Draught at Mountain Sun in Boulder, on October 8, 2012A bit hazy copper color, tan head. Spicy herbal scent. Spicy, mineral, some alcohol taste. Spicy aftertaste. Spritzy mouthfeel, fruit pith weird bitterness. Perhaps this is an off-batch? My mate knows this beer from before and sais this pour is strange.

Nitro sample at the brewpub. Pours a clear orange-amber color with a medium foamy light beige head that diminishes to a lasting film. Large sticky patches of lacing. Aroma of floral hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of floral hops, bready malt and some pine. The finish is smooth and malty with a light hops bite. Not bad overall but I would like to try off the tower sometime.
