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.

Tåkete brun med hvitt skum. Lukter tørkede aprikoser og grapefrukt. Kjenner alkoholen ganske godt. Aprikos, malt, karamell i smaken.

12 oz can from The Mansion. Pours a cloudy dark gold color with a khaki head and good retention. Very good lacing. Dank hops aroma. As expected, heavy dank hops flavor to match the nose. Very resinous. The 9.2% ABV is not aggressive, but is very warming. Just another bitter bomb beer.

Can. Gold pour with a mostly white head. Aroma has some citrus, pine, damp woodsy soil, honey. The favor is well balanced, not too sweet or too bitter and neither is lacking.
