Commercial Description:
BO’s “Extreme IPA” version of the Super IPA style is a particularly intense example. The caramel and toast flavors of the imported English crystal and pale ale malts combine with the mild fruitiness of the English yeast to provide the background upon which the immense doses of American Columbus, Cascade, Centennial and Simcoe hops are displayed. These flavors make it a great match with spicy dishes such as Buffalo Wings, Blackened Chicken sandwiches, and Black and Blue Burgers. BO’s Extreme IPA has a calculated ABV of about 11.0%.

MIBG Fest: Cloudy musty orange colour with some floaties. Aroma and flavour both feature BIIIIG grapefruit and piney hops. Definately chewy as the other raters have noted. Unbalanced as hell, but still good.

Rerate MiBG Fest 2005: More balanced it seems, still a lot of juicy hops but seems not so in your face as I wrote two years ago...

MBG Summer Fest: The appearance is different for sure, cloudy copper hue with small particles dancing around top to bottom, small firm head. Really grapefruity nose with just a hint of herbs and spices. While the taste is tart and bitter, it is not overpowering. Strange mouthfeel for it finishes crisp and dry, but yet it is very chewy. I would say that it is indeed extreme, but not great.

MIBG Fest: Cloudy and super-carbonated. Surreally orange, lasting head with particulate stuck in it! Completely huge Centennialish aroma - burns your eyes like cutting onions - not a lot of sweet malt overload as in Dreadnaught, quite bitter. Chewy as hell.
