Essentially, the same recipe as the IPA, but with approximately 25% more grain and 3 1/2 times the hops! 75 IBU’s, 100% Columbus Hops.

On tap @ the Diamond Knot brewpub. This one has been a long time favorite of mine that I finally get a chance to sit down and rate it. It pours a clear deep gold with copper core and long lasting ring of white foam. The aroma is light with mild sweet grapefruit hops and syrupy lightly roasted malts. The taste starts off chewy with rich lightly roasted malts. Some sweet late addition grapefruit hoppiness wells up creating a mild sweet orange juice sensation. That doesn’t last long as the grapefruit hop bitterness builds into the finish. Very smooth hoppy beer that is dangerously drinkable. Neither a hop bomb or a malt bomb but manages to stay pretty well balanced with a lean toward hops. A must try if you are in the area.

Draught. Lekker floral hop flavour. Orange with lasting foamy head. Refreshing bitter flavour with floral notes. Full mouth feel and lasting finish. Seek this one out.

Draft. Rich amber beer with a nice off-white head. Fruity, grapefruit aroma. Nice grapefruit and slight tropical fruit flavor with pine and a bit of caramel. Lingering pine and grapefruit. Slightly creamy mouthfeel, medium/full bodied.

Draught Hazy olive-amber beer with small yellowish head. Discreet but obviously C-hoppy nose, with grape, grapefruit, some white candi sugar and an olive-like aroma. Outspoken hopstaste, aromatic, especially retronasal (more than the nose). Grapefruit, orange, slightly meaty but with a good malt bill behind it. Dry but refreshing, smooth, medium bodied. Balance is OK, which is one big issue - good industrial (joke) IPA, but I have the idea they couldn’t decide on making is subtle or overwhelming.

Draught at the brewpub. Clear brownish amber. Strong grapefruity hop aroma. Sweet with powerful hoppiness. Bittering ops takes the front seat, the malt is trying to hang on. It goes near inky towards the finish. Even though it’s far from as good as theire regular IPA, it very much comes out with it’s pride intact.

On Tap at DK Hazy light amber/orange with a long lasting white head and lacing. Strong mainly citrusy hops aroma and the flavor is similar. The malts are full and I think balance this heavily hopped brew. Everything seems to work and this is a hefty, bitter 2PA

Dark copper-amber, hazy. Rich hop aroma - mint, spruce, orange. Almost smells like root beer. Loaded hop palate with fat resiny hops overlaying a still-balanced chewy maltiness - caramelized sugar, pine, toffee, light citrus. Finishes long, dry and mouth-coating.
