And so it was written.......
According to Mayan and Hopi calendars the "transition from one world age to another'' will happen on December 21, 2012.
As an homage to the "transition" DC Brau has concocted an Imperial IPA named "On the Wings of Armageddon".
OTWOA is a single hop blend* beer utilizing Falconers Flight™. Brewed with just enough Pale malt, Cara-60, CaraPils and Malted wheat to carry the intense hop character onto the pallet.
At first glance, it has an orange hue in the glass with a viscus, rocky head that refuses to dissipate. Upon first sniff there are dominate aromas of citrus, white grapes and grapefruit with light bread and biscuit notes. After the first sip we taste a mellow bitterness that only grows as more is consumed. Moderately carbonated, deceptively smooth, refreshingly dry and extremely heady for a beer at 9.5% ABV.

Can from boutip. Hazy orange pour, big fluffy white head. Heavy sweet citrus aroma, lots of citrus oils and zest with alot of sweet grainy malts. Its quite well balanced. The mouth feel is Oily, and full with a low carb. The finish is sweet and very citrucy, with alot of hop oils, and a sweet malt finish. A well balanced dipa.

0.355l can many thanks from Lore. Clear golden body with a thin white head. Huge pine resin notes both in the aroma and the taste escorted by burnt sugar, grape seed, nutmeg, apricot and grapefruit. I like these old school West Coast DIPAs a lot. This style deserves to be on the shelves. Not sure why it's that hard to find beers like this.
