If this isn’t the perfect IPA, it’s pretty damn close. Over the course of 3 years, The Truth was scientifically-engineered to be the holy grail for IPA lovers. Armed with a mountain of knowledge from our Single Hop Series, our brewers concocted a hop blend so aromatic, so complex, that you’ll almost forget you’re drinking an 8.7% Imperial. Its big pine notes and stone fruit underpinnings pair best with soft cheeses, shellfish, and late night poker games where you lose your children’s college savings.

From the casino, Evian-les-Bains. Serving us this bottle yesterday, so busy with the children and this one was welcomed. It is a great imperial ipa, well balanced and powerful, boosy, really smooth and malty, resinous, bitter and citrus, 14.12.22, at Epalinges.

Bottle at home. Aroma is lots of pine resin, hoppy, citrus, peach, biscuit malt, tropical fruit notes, hint of caramel. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and medium bitter. Body is medium. Typical Flying Dog, pretty tasty stuff.

En copa teku, color oro anaranjado, espuma blanca bien conservada. Aroma a frutas exóticas, resina, hierba, piel de naranja, pomelo. En boca entra con un firme golpe amargo en la boca, el cual viene soportado por un fondo dulce, algo acaramelado, el retrogusto decididamente amargo y levemente dulce es largo queda bastante rato en el paladar dejando buen recuerdo del momento. Buena cerveza

On tap at the Flying Dog Taphouse at BWI Brilliantly clear deep amber color with big white bubbled head that shows great retention. Rich bready toffee and caramel with plenty of stone fruit tropical citrus and earthy pine to counter. Nice sipper.
