Brewed with a “heelch” (that means “a lot” in Boontling”) of Columbus, Chinook, and Cascade hops, our double IPA has a palate pleasing bitterness that is artfully balanced with a full-bodied malt foundation. With a deep color of polished brass and a nose that sings of pink grapefruit and redwood needles, the rich biscuit-like malt flavors are intertwined with hints of vanilla, mangos, and peppercorns leading to a deep, warming finish.

Piney and citrus hints in the nose along with bready malt. The taste is a bit underwhelming for the 8.7 ABV and the array of high impact hops used in the brewing process. If anything, the hops play second fiddle to the malt base and the taste thins out fairly quickly

It is my kind of beer, powerful taste of hop and malt, fruits and the taste of hop stays a long time in the mouth, 27.03.16, tasting it at Lausanne, Prélaz.

Slightly hazy orange pour, with a sticky ample off white cream colored head. This is an old school double ipa. A huge malt backbone demonstrated by ample biscuity malts and some big pine resin hops with hints of candied citrus peel. The body is a tad oily, and the carb is about what you’d expect. The finish is a little soapy and very resinous. With a medium bitterness, a nice summer sipper, not like today’s grapefruit dipa bombs, old school, and I like it.

Aroma of sweet malts, caramel, aromatic hops, citrus, tropical fruits such as grapefruit, mango, pine. Flavour is malty and fruity sweetness, with a nice pine bitter finish. Nice DIPA, will definitely drink again.

# 607; 1/2017. Velmi výrazně hořké. Chmelení téměř překrývá ovocné chutě, kde dominuej bez a citrusy.
