In an obscure industrial lair resides the man known only as the evil Dr. I.P.A. Using his hadron colider, hidden deep underground, he has
conducted his most remarkable experiment to date. The result is a perfect balance of
honey and hops. But there are side-effects... His lab rats can’t get enough of the stuff. And soon, neither will you. Introducing the Evil Genius. The big bang is no longer a theory, it’s your reality.

Pours very pale yellow, clear, bubbly, no head....just little white islands. Aroma is strong... honey, grapefruit, almost a cheesy funk. Taste is quite sweet, honey, citrus, citronella wax, white grape. Graduates to a slight, peppery, medicinal bitter. Interesting stuff.

50cl bottle pours a crystal clear, very light straw gold, looks like Sprite. Zero head. Nose is honey right up front, some citrus, mostly a bit of smelly feet, soap, some honey comb, lemon lime soda. Flavor is the same, it’s an odd mix of honey and lime, almost like a funky Sprite, some perry too. Medium, slightly bitter finish.

Purchased at Binnys in Chicago, IL; enjoyed at home tired after a Monday work day, playing on my new computer. I must say this is an extremely intriguing beverage, and I’m not sure if I like it, but I am intrigued. Appearance is a weird golden green, clear, with a very small white rim that is bubbly. First non-marketing gimmick green alcoholic beverage I’ve had. Aroma is a mixture of citrus hops, honey, and wine yeast, actually a rather unpleasant smell. Taste goes down like a cider with honey / mead notes as well as a hop flavor, but it doesn’t have the same bittering effects that hops adds to beer. It’s more like that beer additive flavor, like it tastes like hops, but it doesn’t feel like hops. In all honesty it’s not bad, but it feels like I’m not drinking an alcoholic beverage, rather a weird potion derived from a secondary world. Strange, strange beverage.

Marigold, daffodil, and rubber nose. Pale yellow, fizzy pour but little carbonation rising from the bottom of the glass. Carbonation is felt on the palate though. Lemon-lime and honey flavor, with abundant floral hop notes, daffodil, marigold, and lilly. A subtle appearance of cantaloupe is a very nice touch. Very different and enjoyable.
