A true double IPA tilting the scales at 90 IBU"s and 9% Alc. All imported malts created a golden colour with a dense creamy white head. Aromas of intense late addition and dry hopping are evident, producing big notes of tropical fruits. Malty up front on the first taste, but quickly dissipating imto a massive onslaught of hops.
We used "hop bursting technique, with 89%of rhe hops added in the last 12 minutes of the boil to create more hop flavour than bitterness. See if you can pick the 6 different hops on this "ginormous" brew.
Cascade, Amarillo, East kent holdings, Willamette, Simcoeand Topaz.

I think the bitterness is overdone, and harsh on the palate. Sprucy and astringent. Bottle in office. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Foggy orange brown body with minimal head and not much character. Nice crisp grapefruit and sweet hops. Still no complexity but the high alcohol is well hidden so some points to that. But nonetheless not much great going on here.

Cloudy golden color. Malt and glue aroma, some dankness. Syrupy, malty sweet, malt soup, strong bitterness, some hop resins, some orange peel. A bit stale even if it’s fresh.
Very randomly brewed, like a first time homebrew, it’s not very professional, it’s not a bad beer, but its quite bad among IIPAs. Very cloying, a bit boozy. I wouldn’t drink this again.
