An Imperial IPA that’s dry-hopped with MORE Centennial, Cascade and Citra. Adding manic amounts of hops and playing up the malts throughout the brewing process gives Hop Mania a complex character and heady aroma. While the 7.8% ABV gives this beer strength, the mouth feel is deceptively smooth. Hopheads rejoice–the MANNA has gone MANIA!

A solid laced white head on a clear straw body. The nose is understated with sweet malt, peaches and light citrus. A really surprising fresh peach lead on the taste profile, supported by melons, tea and some grapefruit. A nice secondary sweetness from the malt and fruity hops in the aftertaste round out a refreshing quaff. Good carbonation and a rich mouth feel
