I have nothing bad to say about this beer. Amazing hop aroma and flavor. Well balanced though. This is a hop head’s dream. Beautiful citrus and floral hops.

Let’s make one thing clear- this beer lives up to its name. VERY intoxicating aroma and flavor of hops. Too much hops? There is no such thing! This thing is like Two-Hearted Ale on steroids. Very sharp but delicious taste, a wealth of citrus, grass and pine flavor. Great because it’s not too heavy and the 10% abv is nearly nonexistent. Awesome stuff.

12oz bottle, Batch 8283. Pours hazy amber in color with thin white head. Aroma is sweet,citruis hops, HOPS and HOPS with bitter finsih. There is no taste of alcohol but you will feel it. Very outstanding beer for hop heads.

pours a cloudy burnt orange with a 11/2 finger fluffy off white head. aroma is caramel malt and hops with grapefruit, melon, and some pine. has a medium to heavy body with good lacing and carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma with some orange. has a nice dry hop aftertaste and no sign of the 10% abv. the citrus fruits sit on the tongue for a bit and this is basically two hearted with balls. awesome! there is also a hint of honey throughout. the only thing i would change to make this a perfectly rated beer is jack up the ibus to 75 maybe 80 to give it a little more pine kick. other than that its pretty well balanced and also a pretty clean finish for a iipa.

A lot going on in this beer. Complex aroma, fruity and hoppy. Yet, honesty its very drinkable and pleasant. I bought several cases and planned to keep at least 1 case for a year or two but my will power is weak and I finished my last six pack a couple days ago. Definintely a midwest beer...

The perfect beer. Never before has there been such a great balance of hops and malt. Neither dominate and the 10% ABV stays in the background making this the most sessionable non-session beer ever. Well done guys.
