Commercial Description:
A West Coast Double IPA So mega-hopped it will take you to hop heaven. We’ve used hops in the boil, more hops in the giant hopback, and added to that, an incredible amount of dry-hopping for that cutting-edge “hop bite.” Once you’ve tasted this unique beer, all others pale in comparison. 1.072 OG Classified IBU 8%ABV

A hazy orange beer with a huge light orange head. The aroma is lovely grassy and hoppy - like sticking your head in a hop plant. The flavor is sweet and extremely hoppy and grassy combined with notes of oil, caramel, and citrus.

(Bottle 65 cl) Clear, amber golden with a creamy, off-white head. Fresh, hoppy and somewhat perfumy citrus aroma. The body is medium with sweet, malty accents and some caramel thrown in. But otherwise this is completely dominated by extremely perfumy aroma hops. Not overly bitter though - in spite of the name. Courtesy of sk8viking. 150207

From tap at Pizza Port, Carlsbad. Pours almost clear and golden orange with a lacing white head. Light peachy and grapefruity hops aroma. Flavour is dense malty and solid hoppy fruity. Utterly wellbalanced and smooth. Medium dry hoppy finish with a nice bitterness.

Bottled. Deep golden, creamy head. Big grapefruity hop aroma. Clean, rounded, rich, solid maltiness. Very hoppy with extremely bitter finish that turns to ink.

Golden-amber colour. Intense green hoppiness - cedar and orange. Just a big megahop beer, very green and citrusy. If you are imaginative you can envision some pale malts in there somewhere. Good beer? Not really. Tasty beer? Oh yeah.
