Doug Hyndman’s latest and greatest hoppy war hammer of an IPA. Five types of hops, five pounds in the dry hop - there’s a theme here. Chinook, CTZ, Centennial, Galena and Amarillo join forces, devastating your palate with their bitter deliciousness. Pungent. Clean. Unforgiving. Wonderful!

Can from Whole Foods Wine and Liquor in Boulder, 11/26/15. Pours a hazy orange color with a thin head and light lace. Fairly resiny hop aroma. Pine as well. The malts are more subtle, and kind of biscuit and toast in nature. Clean and easy drinking. Medium bodied. Nice, dry close to it. Tasty IPA.

Rich hazy golden coloured body with an orange glow and a thin white head less than a centimetre tall. Aroma of pungent PNW hops, some light apricot and pear sweetness and a very strong and fragrant malt backbone, along with a decent amount of alcohol. Medium-bodied; Strong hop flavours at first with a great malt backbone and a very nice complexity throughout showing some sweetness from fruit as well. Aftertaste has some subdued floral and piney characteristics, but the resin,grapefruit and herbal notes of the hops really come through at the end, along with the alcohol, of course. Overall, a nice beer - definitely well worth trying if you can find it! I sampled this large pint (24 ounce+) at Platte River Bar & Grill in Littleton, Colorado for US$8.99 on 06-June-2014 a few minutes after arriving from the East Coast, with haddon90!

Refrigerated can obtained as free beer during free beer week from Denverdiv. Twelve ounce aluminum can poured into a shaker. Pours dense orange with lots of suspended yeast and small white head which eventually dissapates. Medium lacing, medium body, medium carbonation, and herbal hop aroma. Taste is herbal hops, evergreen hops, and nice bitter hop finish.

Sample at GABF 10/11/2012, thanks to Bluemeow76 for assistance with note-taking. Clear amber with a medium fluffy white head and a sticky top ring of lace. Aroma of citrus, hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of hops, grapefruit and grainy malt. The finish is hoppy with a zesty citrus aftertaste. Above average overall.
