They were on the hunt for a secret garden somewhere up in the coastal California hills, according to their treasure map. The hunts were a bust. But their meetup code spread like smoke in the wind.
Our Waldos’ Special ale is a triple IPA made with that original crew’s hand-picked selection of the dankest, headiest hops around and it can only be scored around April.

Dark amber color. Lots of cherries, oranges, super full body, sticky super aggressively bitter. Very well put together over the top quadruple IPa

Bottle - clear copper - moderate lace with lively carbonation - clean, but quite sweet - hops are assertive, dank, resinous - it is what it is and for what it is it is good - I honestly just bought this because I wanted something hoppy that would get a light buzz going because this week has sucked - it did the trick.

Bottle from Brewers Haven. Clear, brass pour, head settles out to little islands of fine bubbles. Aroma is caramel malts before the hefty hit of hops hit you, you can feel the heat. Taste is piney, sharp, toffee, sweet notes, resinous. Really tasty and easy to drink despite the high ABV.
