Originally created in collaboration with the sinister hopped minds at Kaiju! Beer, our 2025 monster is a continuation of our annual fresh hop series, bursting with a monstrous blend of fresh-from-the-bine Galaxy®, Eclipse® & Vic Secret™ hops, thanks to our friends down the road at HPA.
Brewer’s Tasting Notes: “A big, bold, and bitter Double IPA packed with intense tropical grapefruit character. Full-bodied with a rich malt backbone, this brew balances its assertive hop bitterness with waves of juicy citrus and resinous pine. Despite its strength, the smooth ABV makes for a dangerously drinkable experience, leaving a lingering, satisfying finish.”

A near perfect WCIPA. Aromas of pine, grapefruit and bread. A soft mouthfeel hides the 9% alcohol and highlights the pine and citrus notes, plus a tiny bit of white pepper. Just can't get enough of it.
