First of the Steinhoist Series. Alc. By volume 8.2%. This Imperial India Pale Ale is all about the hops: hops in the mash, hops in the boil, hops in the fermentor…..the beer even passes through our Beer Filtration Hopparatus (a bed of whole cone hops) on the way to the kegs to help filter out any larger hop particles!!! The result is a floral, citrusy, piney glass of hoppy deliciousness. Enjoy for a limited time!! Malts: American 2-row, German Munich, DextraPils, Crystal 40L. Hops: Chinook, Warrior, Centennial, Simcoe, Columbus. Yeast: American Ale.

OK, on the menu it just says hazy IPA, but I guess its hoption as looking at the website beer menu. Typical mild perfume hop aroma. Not as hazy as a real hazy IPA. Very bitter on the uptake. A little bit of rubber inner tube in the reminiscence. I'm thinking its rather flat as well as mouthcoating. What else could be asked for in an IPA: Terribly on style. Possibly could pass as an impy bitter double, LOL. Look, don't be pissed; if my numbers are low and you are an IPA lover, your number is high. Figger that one out.

Great double West Coast IPA. Super rich hops. Mango and a touch of marmalade, pineapple. Golden pour with great head and lacing. Bitter end. Very nice. Tap at brewery.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a cloudy orange color with a huge creamy white head that left incredible lacing. The aroma was bitter with fruity and floral hops. The flavor was tangy, sweet and bitter with rough and harsh floral and fruity hops. Long finish. Medium body.

Keg at the brewery. Hazy orange, large creamy white head, good retention. Aroma of piney hops, toffee malt. Taste is pine, resin, earth, pale malt. Medium bodied, well balanced.

Draft at brewery. Orange color. Aroma is juicy American, maybe C hops, with juicy orange. A light dry bitter pine sneaking in, which I un-prefer. Flavor is also not quite as juicy and bursting. A light drying end. Good stuff. Another DIPA berko will likely never have.

On tap at PNP Charleston. Clear orange with small white head. Aroma is light tropical fruit, medium body, low carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is nice triopical fruit and herbal hops.
