Made with 100% Maris Otter malt to back up the barrage of hop bitterness, flavor and aroma, this beast knows no boundaries. With all of this hoppy goodness packed into one beer, we wouldn’t have called it by any other name. Spike’s Brewing Words of Wisdom: Oh no, they say he’s got to go. Go, go Hopzilla!

Bomber. Glowing gold, cloudy, with fine lace. Big grapefruit aroma, tropical fruits, tangy alcohol. Big alcohol bite in the mouth, lots of bitterness, citrus hops. Big, boozy, burn! Very stimulating but unrefined. Could use some age. Honey sweetness resides at the back of huge alcohol and strong hop bitterness. A mess.

Hazy medium yellow with a thin oily head. Fresh citrus hop aroma blended with juicy malts. Not overly bitter in the flavor nor overly sweet. Good balanced IIPA. Big and full with low carbonation.

Bomber pours deep opaque gold with thin white head. Looks like an over hopped IIPA and that makes me happy. The aroma is rich with wonderful sugar sweetened grapefruit, tangelo and a mix of pine resin and pineapple as well as malt sweetness and a touch of booziness in the background. The taste starts with a moment of malt sweetened grapefruit, citrus hop flavor, tangelo and pineapple and then quickly ramping up in bitter citrus and resiny hoppiness taking the hoppy experience to dizzying heights. Nice, loads of citrus hops that are very heavy on the bitter side as well as on the boozy side too. If you want a bold hoppy envelope pushing IIPA then this is for you. Solid and perfectly to style. Yum.
