Lacking logic, caution, or restraint, Numbskull is our hard-hitting and intensely hoppy Double IPA.
Brewed with a heavy backbone of Vienna and Pale malts and a rotating hop. Strata's west coast hop profile delivers an invigorating explosion of flavour with every sip.

473mL can, pours a clear copper with a medum white head. Aroma reveals some strawberry-like hops, a touch of melon, some earthy spiciness, and bready malt. Flavour bursts with fresh tropical hops -- lots of passionfruit, strawberry, some citrus, bitter grapefruit, and melon -- with a sufficiently sweet bready malt base. Though it's much on the aromatics, the flavour profile is very satisfying. Excellent.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver; thanks Chris for bringing this in
It's clean, but amber colour; medium sized head. Very light aroma of biscuity malts. The mouthfeel is lean, at least not chewy or sweet; there's a base of bready malt, light toast; balanced bitterness; caramelized fruit is a bit too little for the hop profile. Oldish school, and modest anyway.

473mL can. Pours clear gold with thin white head. Aroma is quite light; strawberries, a bit of orange peel. Flavour has some soft malts, grapefruit. Berry notes throughout, but not a fruity beer. A bit of strawberry on the finish. Good amount of hoppiness. Nice.
