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.

Orange farge med ett par cm skum. Lukter godt av humle, grape og sitron. Kjenner godt at den er på 9 prosent. Lang god bitter ettersmak.

Clear amber beer with a sweet citrus aroma. Lots of tropical, bittersweet fruity hop up front. Citrus, grapefruit, a bit of a piney taste and a good heap of malt in there too. Tastes strong enough that you know to respect it but without being overpoweringly boozy.

--- Beer aliased from original tick of Mr. President on 01 Sep 2018 at 22:00 - Score: 7.5. Original review text: Now this beer survived all attempts on his life by the Yodeleers. Opened it and the whole room started smelling resiny. Super heavy hitter of a Westcoast DIPA. Thick, boozy, heavy bitter, piney to the max and a good malty backbone. Very well made.
