Palate Wrecker was originally brewed for the Hamilton’s Tavern 2nd Anniversary celebration. It’s the most complicated West Coast–inspired IPA we have ever brewed. With 6 pounds of hops per barrel, Palate Wrecker is officially the hoppiest beer in the ring. Our Double IPA is the result of a complex and innovative double-brewing process that is exclusively ours. First, there is a single infusion mash and subsequent boil at 65 IBU with Columbus and Centennial hops. Then, a second duplicate mash using the 65 IBU wort instead of water and a second 65 IBU boil using the same hop schedule. The result is a higher gravity beer with kettle caramelizing in place of crystal malts and an elevated hop flavor and bitterness that might not be achieved with the same amount of ingredients in a single brew.

Tap. OMG! I thought Green Bullet was bitter. This one is really, really bitter. Aroma is hoppy. Gold color. Massive head.

Bottle thanks to Toby. Pours out amber gold topped with a sand head. Nose is nice big pine citrus floral hops and some nice biscuit malts. Taste is more of the nice hop combo floral notes lead the way with a balanced malt bill.
