This Giant of a beer is the result of many hours, days and years working away at my perfect IPA recipe (Pay ode to luplin). An explosion of Hops, beautifully complementing the ton of malt in this beer.
So as you may have guessed there is a ridiculous amount of hops thrown into this unique recipe and we feel, this IPA, while it does not melt your face off with intensive battery acid bitterness, is a true Giant of IPAs. The Hops in this beer are the real stars and we feel we have found an IPA that can offer a more gentlemanly approach to bitterness.

Bottle at Beerhouse on Long. It pours clear deep orange - amber with a medium off-white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, sticky, orange marmalade, peach, pine and muffin. The taste is firmly bitter, wood, pine, resin, some alcohol, orange marmalade, caramel, waxy peel and pepper with a dry finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Not bad, but I don’t see the reason for the major love of the last few raters. Doesn’t have a load of depth and the alcohol plays too big a part in the beer.
