Leafer Madness Imperial Pale Ale was created during the great hop shortage of 2008, but there is no shortage of hops in this beer. Brewed with large amounts of 2-row malt, Munich malt, and multiple hop varieties, this 9% ABV, 100+ IBU hop monster quenches the thirst of those who crave the lupulin!

650ml bottle. Hazy orangey golden colour with huge creamy lasting and lacing white head. Intense hop aroma with herbal/grassy and grapefruit notes and zest bitterness. Taste brims over with dry hoppiness the sweet malt part barely can bear up. In the course the dryness is completely gone for a short moment, giving way a fresh citrus note, until a lasting bitter finish comes in. From all those 100+ IBU Double IPAs flattering the drinker for his being hard enough to suffer such a hop bomb, but which are more often than not just fruity and drinkable and sometimes simply fantastic stuff, this one is really a challenge due to its bitterness; ----- not the worst challenge, natch.

Draught at Elk Public House, Spokane, WA. Hazy deep golden, minimal head. Concentrated lemon/lychee aroma. Mid sweet with solid, clean, rounded body. Hop driven where lemon hides the alcohol exceptionally well. Citric finish where the bitterness just keep growing. Flavourful without being edgy. Good job!
