This mammoth IPA is defined by generous quantities of juicy American hops. The extensive dry hopping process contributes to its bright and flavorful character. This beer is unfiltered to leave all the natural flavors intact and bottle conditioned to stay super fresh.

Darren hooks me up with a bunch of other bottles and cans. Thick cap of white head that sits on a clear gold liquid. Citrus and tropical fruits in the flavor and aroma’s. Mango, peaches, and citrus in front of a large base of malt to help the balance. Some green tea flavor. A good amount of dry piney bitterness that lingers in the finish. Lighter in body with proper Co2. Overall, this is respectable in a bottle, so that means it should be pretty nice on draft.

Tap at Jekyll Island Seafood, ATL. Nice fresh apricot, citrus hop aroma. Light hazy amber, offwhite creamy head. Fruity, sparkly flavor. Medium light chewy body, creamy mouthfeel. Long lasting non-sticky hop aftertaste. Strangely enough the chilled glass I got the first time around was better than the non-chilled one.

On tap at Funky Blues Shack. Pours a cloudy copper gold with large creamy white head that lasts awhile. The aroma is fruity hop and resin. Thin mouthfeel with light fruity hop and pine with a light bitter finish. Good.

Draft, 16 fl oz. Pours slight hazy orange golden with tiny tan-like head. Aroma of floral hops, rich malt, fruits and pine. Taste starts sweet and rich malty, then followed by refreshing fruitiness and finished with pleasantly strong bitterness. Full body, thick texture and soft carbonation. It met my expectations, except appearance could be better with at least some head - I’m sure that was bartender’s fault...

Pushing double IPA in maltiness, there is a huge caramelly bready sweet malt nose and flavor, big sweet palate. The hop aromas and flavors are dense, fresh and straight ahead citrus.
