It’s just a helluva shock. Something that gets the adrenalin pumping like a 400 volt shot in a copper bathtub has to be good for the soul.
Join the hardcore elite, screw down the throttle and ride. Ride until your lungs bleed and your arms numb. Gun the fucker. Don’t pull back, or slow down until the crazy music starts.
Then sit, stunned, wall-eyed, open mouthed, in the realization this mother will drill you with Panzer-like efficiency. And you’ll beg for more.
Malts: Maris Otter, Crystal malt, Caramalt.
Hops: Centennial, Columbus, Simcoe / Dry Hops: Centennial, Columbus, Simcoe.
Note: First batch brewed December 2009, replacing the original Hardcore IPA in 2010.

Dieses Bier ist auch bereits vor einigen Jahren meinen Hals hinuntergeronnen. Es blieb die Erinnerung an den sehr hopfigen Geschmack, der den ganzen menschlichen Körper beim ersten Schluck erfüllt. Dabei ist es aber nicht zu bitter, sondern erfreut mit blummigen Aromen, die auch ordentlich reinhauen. ICh weiß nicht, ob das Bier noch produziert wird, aber ich kann es wohl empfehlen.

Cloudy dark orange amber with a small white head. Nose is pine and citrus with some green fruit notes along with a moderate caramel. Well balanced light sweetness to support a prominent pine bitterness. Medium slick mouth with average carbonation and a long lingering dry bitter finish.

Appearance is amber/orange, a bit hazy, with a half-finger beige head. Aroma- lots of orange, spices, hint of malt, hops, grapefruit, tropical fruit juice. Taste- intense, bitter orange, pineapple, grapefruit, loads of hop bitterness, fruity hop resins, a very long clingy bitter finish. Syrupy slick mouthfeel. Good stuff.

Bottle from Masuyo in Asagaya. Pours a clear orange with a big soapy off-white head. Orange, citrus, biscuit, passion fruit and grapefruit on the nose. Quite fragrant throughout. Well-balanced with good carbonation and a full body. Not overly sweet and really quaffable. Good bitter finish that lingers. ABV is hidden pretty well. Solid.

Brewdog’s famed DIPA, tasted from a small tasting glass (from tap) shared by Craftmember at Brewdog’s new pub in Brussels, right next to the central station. Thick and dense, frothy, egg-white head sitting on top of a cloudy orange blond beer with light brownish hue. Strong and very typically American DIPA aroma of a ton of grapefruit, pine resin, orange peel, gin, pepper, mango, whisky, lychee, chicken broth and pineapple. Tropical fruits in the mouth as well (mango, pineapple, lychee), yet clean and crisp, sweet but restrained with soft carbo and supple, lightly honeyish, caramelly, smooth malt body; expectedly finishes in a very strong, lasting, drying, complex, very aromatic, citrusy and piney hop bitterness, after which a glow of warming, gin-like alcohol can be felt, perhaps just a little bit too obvious. Had the alcohol been more cleverly hidden, this would have been a world-class imperial IPA for sure; it is, however, the only negative thing I can say about it and I did thoroughly enjoy it because of its lush tropical fruit character, big and creamy maltiness and bold, vast hoppiness without becoming overly abrasive.

Aroma is sweet hops with a hint of grain. Has a fine creamy head and a clear ruby-copper body. Flavour is fruit and candy hops - sweet but not cloying, very tasty. Dry finish. It’s a very nice IPA that stands out in a crowd.
