Welcome back our boldly hoppy pal. Legendary Cascade hops mix-it-up with assertive Simcoe for a powerful, citrusy and earthy foundation that is galvanized with a big punch of fruity Citra. This IPA packs a hoppy wallop!

A solid DIPA with good hop flavor. The beer pours a medium amber gold color with a creamy white head and good lacing. The aroma is floral and piney, full of hops. There’s a hint of a strong, simple malt flavor in there, as well. The flavor is similar, lots of bitter hops and a good, sugary malt backbone. The hops don’t come through quite as fully as with the top DIPAs, but it’s still an excellent beer. It’s on the bitter side of the style, but it’s not quite a palate stripper.

Bottle - Golden with a white head. Grapefruit and pineapple feature in the aroma. The taste is crisp and hoppy with pineapple, grapefruit and a hint of lemon. It certainly doesn’t taste like it’s 8.5%. Easy to drink and fairly tasty, but nothing remarkable. I was expecting something slightly better.

Bottle. Boring, boring DIPA. Some nice sweet candy grape in the nose. The taste is nothing special at all. Sure hoppy but i want a little more malt/fruitiness/extreme hops in a DIPA for it to stand out among others.

Bottle at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Very much what you expect for a DIPA from a hop head west coast brewery. Lots of hops, oranges and slightly oily.

Bottle from Food World, Kalamazoo. Amber colour, off-white head. Aroma of sweet hops and some malts. Flavour has sweet hops, sweet caramel malts. Slightly dry and bitter finish. Well drinkable, but on the sweet side.

on tap @ GIBF, really nice DIPA, good citrus/pine character, great aftertaste which is the real test for a DIPA, would definitely do it again.
