Explosive notes of ripe tropical fruit and citrus dominate the aroma, with savage amounts of hops used in both early and late additions. This dry-hopped American IPA will close out every show the way rock intended…guitar smashing and hoping for an encore.

Can: Hazy/cloudy yellow with a yellow-white head. Pineapple, grapefruit scent. Taste is soft, tropical fruit, pineapple, orange malt, sweet pink grapefruit.. Very mild peel bittering. Not bad.....if you are in the mood for a sweeter IPA.

Light pine and a little citrus. Pours golden with decent head and lacing. Tried a sample of this in Lost RIver Pizza in Bowling Green while watching out for massacres like Kellyanne. Tap.

From a can this is one of the most viscous mouth coating bitter experiences than I’ve had in a long long time. So.....I guess that means you’ll like it? Inverse my numbers if you like ipa, this is digging into the impy arena fer sure. If you like this somewhat terrible style, my rating is a 4.5! Yeah, move it to the impy ipa double ipa style my ratebeerian friends. Quite rude you mah-fahs.

On draught at Local Roots. Clear dark orange color with a medium thick off-white head that diminishes gradually. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, hops and sweet malt. Medium-bodied with a citrus and melon character and flavors of herbal hops and malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a fruity hops aftertaste. Above average overall.
