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!

Tap @ brewery. Hazy, golden orange appearance wit ha white head. Resiny, sticky hoppy, grapefruit citrusy, rich aroma. Thick sticky resiny, sappy piney hoppy flavor with notes of grapefruit and apricot.

[My original rating was a 4, based on the original draft version - this updated rating is for the cans, which are fucking horrible - flabby, watery texture, muddled, stale malt and hop flavor throughout - high, abrasive acidity, despite the muted, stale hop flavor - sharp and punishing on the palate - what the fuck happened?] Tap at Dry Dock - hazy gold - this beer is hoppy as fuck! - the board at the brewery even joked that it was "250,000 IBUs" - extremely assertive grapefruit pith, pine needle and pine wood nose - same in the flavor - medium sweet pale malts add some depth to the citrus character - tongue-curling bitterness, but no abrasive acidity or any of the other drawbacks that come from such extreme hoppiness - chewy body - moderate yeastiness - freakin’ tasty.
