Atomic Torpedo is our East Coast–West Coast hop collision, unleashing the joint power of two styles: juicy East Coast IPAs and dank West Coast IPAs. Fused in this Double IPA, their hop favors span lush fruit, sticky pine, and floral tones. It’s our classic IPA transformed—soft yet assertive, approachable yet atomic.

I have an impressive looking 19.2 oz can that was born on 11/1/22. Time to see if the contents match the presence. Pour into a shaker glass and I determine a mostly clear, dark gold liquid topped with a decent head of parchment tan foam. Some lacing going on here, nice to see also. The beer has the attractive initial smell of hops along with pine and perhaps a bit of mango. I take a drink and get the hops again, cedar, citrus, grapefruit to a small degree, malt and just enough tropical to register. Mostly an old school IPA, I thank the brewery for their indulgence.

568ml can. Pours orange/amber gold, medium transparent, with a nice head of white foam, medium grained. Aroma is characterized by piney and resinous feelings. Body and carbonation are average. A little stickiness, actually more related to the intense presence of essential oils from dry hopping. Taste is intensely bitter, with a little sweetness behind. Final is average.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Deep amber colour with a mediumsized white foamy head. Aroma is floral, herbal, grassy and mild bready tones with some slight grains and earth. Flavour is sweet fruits, alcohol, some mild peachy and grainy tones with mild bread and a nice bitter nectary kick in the finish.
