This one is dedicated to everyone who has gotten up at the butt crack of dawn, headed towards the shores and found it 4-6 feet and offshore only to find 30 of your “buddies” have already claimed the peak. As you paddle out, a swell arrives from nowhere signaling your turn to go. The surf Gods are shinning on you today. You turn, stroke like mad for the wave. Standing up you are alone and blammo you Wipeout….blowing the only chance of a right hander all to yourself. You know who you are. We’ve all been there too. It’s inside each and every one of us. Welcome to the waters of Wipeout IPA, a massively hopped India Pale Ale with enough substance and body to overcome even the worst and most tragic of on the water spills. We brew Wipeout IPA for everyone- especially those hardy souls who brave the cold winter water and monster sets produced by an amazing northwest swell. Only a tidal wave of hops can overcome the surging tide of malt that is required to produce a beer of this shape. We invite you to drop in, hang on and kick out the backside. That is, unless you enjoy wiping out and all the glory that goes with it.

Thanks Glava, Renato & co! Poured a yellow-golden body with an off white head. Vaguely tropical, ?dank?, sweetish aroma, full and nice. Huge hop taste, tropical fruit et al., very fine bitterness to boot. Not in its prime but definitely bears some markings of a classic.

0.65 bottle@Svijet piva, Zagreb. Shared with Niko. Hazy orange, very strong white head. Flowery aroma, different hops involved. Taste is honey, orange and something I can’t read from my notes... Medium body, drinkable. Very nice looking IPA and almost as tasty.

Bottle (from Koht, Tallinn). Pours golden with off-white head. The head stays. Aroma is grass, tropical fruits, mango, caramel, sweetness. Flavor is sweet and bitter, grass, tropical fruits, mango, citrus. Finish is fruity citrus bitter. Overall: good brew. I guess fresher bottle would be better (didn’t find BB, but I assume it’s at least 3 months old, haven’t seen fresher American stuff here).

On tap at mad mex. yellow ever so slightly hazy. Rocky head. rather perfumy hop aroma. Quite strong from the start. difficult and strong, yea. Certainly on terrible style. Wew, big bitter chewing on green grapefruit rinds yet not as syrupy as a double. Decent co2, makes this rather acceptable. Finish is long & bitter. A little easier to take than many IPA.

Bottle, 0.65l, shared with Hoppiness crew. Hazy amber color with thick creamy off white head and great lacing. Pungent aroma of citrus, pine and pineapple. Taste starts refreshing fruity, follows sweet resinous with heavy bitter finish and neverending aftertaste. Full body, oily texture and lively carbonation in palate. Just excellent...
