It doesn’t take a genius to know quality West Coast IPAs require a stupid amount of hops. A generous blend of Nugget hops and the four Cs—Cascade, Centennial, Chinook and Columbus—brings forth a myriad of tropical fruit flavors and a brawny, persistent bitterness that makes for a highly intelligent brew.

Bottle - hazy glowing orange - fairly thick, soapy lace - dank aroma, musky citrus, mango, orange zest - soft texture, fairly full in the mouth - flavor is a fair balance of sweet orange flesh, moderate bitterness, juicy American hops character - a little sweet, but mostly a fairly classic version of imperial IPA.

From bomber to pint glass. Moderate high pine, resin and funk, with restrained citrus. Clear, gold-amber with full white head which lingers. Taste is overt pine and hop resins. Slight malt bready backing. Moderate high bitterness.

12 ounce bottle. Hazy medium gold color. Finger high creamy white head. Fragrant citrus hop aroma. Toasted malt and pine hops come through. Bittersweet with tropical notes. Some caramel malt, but hops dominate here. Spicy and complex, this is a real winner.
