Press the button, go ahead. What are you waiting for? Your mama’s not coming this time. Don’t slow down. Hammer it.

Start with huge grapefruit aroma. Pile on more bitterness than the human palate (or nipple) can detect, ride the anarchy and caramel craziness and let the devastatingly bitter finish drill straight through your taste buds.

Put a bullet in the head of mediocrity, raise hell and revel in bitter craft awesomeness. This beer is the end of the line. The hopped-up, puckered mouthed extreme of craft brewing. This beer is bitter. Very bitter. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Malt: Extra Pale
Hops: Amarillo, Centennial, Citra, Columbus, Simcoe

Bottle. Clear pale yellow with a decent white head. Aroma of mostly grapefruits, pine, lemons and some caramel. Taste is grapefruits and pine with a little bit of oranges backed up by a solid caramel malt base. Long lasting bitterness that goes a long way. Medium carbonation. Alcohol blends well in. I wasn‘t that impressed at first sip but it did grow on me. Nice but not as outstanding as the label wants you to believe.

Can. Surprised it's not rated. Nose is pine, citrus, ripe mango, pineapple. Taste is resin, pine, grapefruit, hint of lemon, grapefruit pith, hint of vodka in the overly bitter finish.

440ml can from Morrisons. Slightly hazy gold, moderate white head with some nice retention. Aroma is grapefruit, orange, caramel malts and pine resin. Taste is semi-sweet, grapefruit, a stewed citrus note, loads of pine in there, orange peel zesty tang with a very big dry bitter finish. Moderate body with a soft carbonation works well. This certainly packs a punch particularly with the level of bitterness. I like it.

Packs a punch does this, big on the grapefruit bitterness and a smack of resinous pine as well. Very slightly hazy gold with a frothy white head, it slips down smoothly and tastes dry and bitter and hoppy, just like a modern IPA should

44cl can from Abeervinum, Rimini, Italy. Pours orange blonde, medium transparency, with fine white foam. Aroma is citrus-intensive, but also tropical fruits and piney. Body is fairly dense, with average carbonation. Taste is intensely bitter. Final is fairly long and still intensely bitter.
