A brazenly hop-forward beast of a beer, with a huge passionfruit nose. A subtle caramel character provides a malt backbone to shoulder the massive amount of dry-hopping that gives this beer its unique aroma and hop flavor. Two 5 Left is the runway that sends planes screaming right over El Segundo. We always knew we would name a beer after this local landmark and when it came to naming our first Double IPA, it fit the bill perfectly.

Bomber from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours translucent amber with a slight off-white head. Mixed resin/citrus aroma. Full bodied. Flavor is very brown sugar with a good dose of hop - but the malt seems to be in the ascendant. Despite that there’s hop burn - and I’m now ascribing that to floral resin. Finishes amazingly balanced - with lots of hop.

On tap. Pours with a hazed, deep golden hued body with a lasting off-white head. Aromas are quite pungent, hoppy, spicy, dank, CTZ like, medium caramel, a hint of diacetyl like butterscotch. Aroma is mostly hops though, weed, strong, fresh, grassy. Flavors are hoppy, citrusy, dank, lightly bitter, floral and tropical fruit. Lively carbonation, fuller bodied, warming. Quite a bit sweeter than I would like, but nice and fresh hop character.
