Thanks to my friend John Dings for this beer. Aroma is somewhat sweet and mild floral hops, very pleasant and not in your face like many IPA smell. That’s just a facade, because its no indication of the first tate. First taste is a big smack in the face of large bitter hoppy flavors, like many IIPA, yes even DIPA. Initially, its off like it wants to befriend you, then it turns its tale and gives you the finger. Palate? What palate? Any indication of mouth feel or co2 is covered by this medicinal hop oily mouth coating rudeness. The nasty bitter middle finger, plowing across your lips and down the sides of your tongue as it reaches for the back of your throat. I’d swear this stuff is near 7 or 8%. Bitter nellie negative lingering bad medicine finish. All I can say is this stuff is much more IPA than John indicated. Terribly on style, heheh ;~) If you like IPA, better try this bitter hoppy monster. Thanks John, for ruining my taste buds!
