An aggressive and old-school American Double IPA here, and a well named one, as this beer rips out your palate and the flies off to regurgitate it into the mouths of its frenzied young. Its combo of five malts and six hops creates a unique experience too. Anyone who touts themselves as a true hophead should seek out this beer now. Malts: Specialty 2 Row, Wheat, Munich, Vienna, CaraMunich 40. Hops: Warrior, Cascade, Amarillo, Summit, Pilgrim, Centennial. Dry Hop: Amarillo, Summit, Simcoe.

Bomber from the Natomas BevMo. Pours clear copper with a 3 finger creamy/bubbly light beige head that tries to lace a little. The aroma is sort of sweet hop bomb. Brown sugar, fruit, citrus, pine. Med body at least. Flavor is rather subtle/smooth hop which burns. I don’t think it’s heat! I get no heat in the throat. This could pass for a super hoppy barleywine. It’s frickin amazing ale. Finishes bitter, but if you blinked you might think sweet. Super.
