“Hella” is a NorCal thing, and when used, is a sure tip-off that you are from Northern California. A classic “West Coast” Double IPA; clean malt flavor, hop flavor forward, without all the bitterness. Hella hops are used throughout the process to bring you intense floral, citrus, and tropical notes. Smooth and clean, not bitter!

Sample at The Bistro DIPA-Festival, February 8. (my first one from this brewery) Hazy golden/orange with a white head. Fresh and with a pleasant hoppiness. Pineapple, mango, citrus and some biscuits. Bitter but not extremely bitter.

On tap at .burger in Capitola, pours a hazy vibrant golden orange with medium white head. Aroma brings out loads of piney hops, like a true Cali IIPA, with just enough biscuity malt to back. Flavour brings out very creamy piney hops, some tropical fruity notes - I'm reminded of peach creamsicle - and some malt to back that doesn't really impart much flavour. Extremely creamy, piney and flavourful - everything is well-balanced. Excellent IIPA.

On tap at Harry’s Hofbrau. Robust orange and citrus aroma. Pours a slightly hazy golden-orange with minimal white head of large bubbles. Nice lacing. Flavor is overt citrus, orange and fresh cut grass. Moderate bitterness makes it an easy drinking DIPA. Fresh squeezes juice in the finish.
