Description
Holy Mountain is a brewery and taproom located in the Interbay neighborhood of Seattle, founded by co-owners Colin Lenfesty and Mike Murphy in 2014. The influence of oak has always been the focus of the majority of beers brewed at Holy Mountain. A sizable building near the Seattle waterfront has allowed the team to build a vast stock of oak barrels, puncheons, and foudres used for both primary fermentation as well as long-term aging.
The proximity of the brewery to the Yakima Valley also allows the team of brewers to utilize hops from the best producers in the world, constantly exploring the relationship between hops, oak, and mixed fermentation. Holy Mountain doesn't offer any year-round beers, which creates an ever-changing lineup in the brewery taproom. In addition to oak-influenced beers, Holy Mountain also offers a wide range of rotating, hop-forward ales and lagers.

Maxdaddy gave me this bottle, way too kind of him.. and he was the guest. Completely thick pour, dirty golden color. Aroma is awesome tropical fruits. Just my type, not hops centric or ester centric, just a mix of tropical fruits. Flavor is tart fruit akin to pineapple. Strawberry finish. Maybe the best ale I have had from Holy Mountain, finally starting to dial in the funky stuff.

Draft pour at Special Brews. This is the most popular brewery around lately that I have yet to really get into. Pours a pale yellow with a fizz head. Has a bright citrus, almost sour aroma. Flavor is different, and pretty corn forward. Grainy flavor throughout with a mild yeast finish. This beer was alright for me.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out tart leathery notes, some funk, and wheat. Flavour reveals notes of leather, light sweetness, tart funky notes and some cereal wheaty notes. Cohesive and well-balanced, leaving a lovely tart finish. Very good.

5 oz draft pour at the Seattle IBF. Pours a golden copper color with a patchy bubble head. What a solid imperial IPA this is. Nice hop forward aroma. Toasty flavor which drinks much more gentle than the near 10% offer. Nice hints of orange in the finish. Awesome IIPA here. I think Iβll get another.
