A mighty beast that appears just once a year, The Kracken is released. This Triple IPA attacks with a monstrous volume of barley and hops, bittered aggressively in the kettle and dry hopped with a full 5 pounds per barrel post-fermentation. The Kracken is depth charged with Simcoe and Citra hops, delivering fiendish aromatics of tangerine, apricot, and pine. Enjoy it fresh and now, because once this leviathan slips back into the deep, it's gone until next year.

$4.20 pint can, WW. Slightly hazy medium gold with a small off-white head. Heavy resin aroma, rubber, pine, light citrus peel. Resin, grapefruit peel, pine, orange flesh. Hides the booze.

Keg at Capital Ale House Harrisonburg. Pours a clear amber with a large creamy tan head. Good head retention. Aroma of citrus, resin, tropical hops, pale malt. The taste is tropical, pine, resin hops, pale malt. Medium bodied, lingering bitterness. Nice beer.
