The Big DIPA is a massively hoppy beer, yet with a surprisingly elegant profile. To a lush malt base infused with rye, we hop this beer 4 different times during the brewing process — in the kettle, in the hopback, and it is dry hopped twice after we age the beer on untoasted white oak. The result is an imperial IPA that is perfectly balanced and extremely drinkable. Cheers to the Big DIPA, may it guide you safely home!

Bottle (2014) poured into a tulip. Pours a dark amber color with a finger of off-white to slightly yellow head. Nice webby lacing. Aromas of citrus, caramel, light oak, resin, floral notes. Tasting notes of grapefruit citrus, pine/resin, subtle oak, bitter piney hops, sweet malt. Medium body with a semi-dry and sticky finish. Low to medium carbonation. Alcohol is pretty well hidden. The oakiness is a bit understated.
