Did someone ask for hops? Tired of beers that promise a full lupulin experience, but never deliver more than richly malted bitterness? It’s no secret that this is what we excel at. We’ve been brewing world class IPAs for years. Our flagship is the culmination of a decades worth of studying and brewing. Take a step above and acclimate to what an IPA should be.

Can, thanks a ton to Cocoapuph for bonusing me this long time want lister! Pours golden butterscotch, medium creamy beige head that slowly dissipates leaving a lot of residual and nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is grapefruit, pine, citrus, a bit of passionfruit. Very nice! Flavor delivers on what the aroma promises, light sweet and light bitter, really well balanced. Reminds me a lot of a slightly souped up Zombie Dust, actually, which is a pretty damn good compliment. Medium body, a little bit oily in the mouth. This is a first rate IPA. Its score from me probably suffers a bit from the fact that the class of first rate IPA’s is growing rapidly though.

Can: Pale copper pour with a light haze, creamy sand color head. Nice thick lacing. Sweet aroma of citrus and caramel, a little piney too. The taste is where this beer comes through for me. Very flavorful hops. Mostly florals, but pine and citrus swirls around too. Malt stays in the background and it finishes very well. Smooth throughout, seemless comes to mind. Scoots well past very enjoyable and right to excellence.

Can at ChrisO Holiday Tasting, London - thanks to Henrik (I believe). Pours perfectly clear gold with a fine, white foam head. Big citrusy hop aroma, some piss and pineapple, some orange. Medium sweet flavor with sturdy grass, orange rind. Medium bodied with fine, creamy carbonation. Moderately resinous finish, dry pine, grass, citrus rind. Decent overall, pretty good balance.

Tap @ La Cumbre. Pours a clear, dark orange appearance with a white head. Heavy ganja, resiny, super piney, citrusy hoppy aroma. It’s like you are sucking on the fucking hops. Super ganja, piney hoppy, palate wrecking flavor. Tasty. Official beer of the Iowa City 1/10/2013 spongedbob party. (4.2).
GABF 2015. Really fucking good as usual (4.2)

Can at ChrisO tasting, thanks to Henrik for what I think is my first beer from NM ! 30/12/12. Lightly hazed mid amber with a thin off white head that clears to the edge and leaves a small film. Nose is bitter hops, pine, grapefruit - simple and fresh. Taste comprises bitter grapefruit, hops, pine, orange pith, touch of sugars. Medium bodied with soft carbonation leading to a bitter dry finish. First rate IPA!
