Commercial Description:
Hellrazer boasts a light amber color, citrus aroma, smooth hoppy finish, and devilish 6.2% abv. This new IPA will more than fill the void for you hop heads out there during Venom’s absence, but we promise, Venom will return with the hops.

Growler courtesy of beachbum25. Pours copper with a generous white head. Smells of citrus, perfume, resin, dough, caramel, some light pepper. Tastes moderately bitter with lots of earthiness, touches of citrus, some spicy hints. Finishes earthy. Very enjoyable!

Draft @ Bowie location. Pours a bright, bold orange color; off-white head with solid, glistening lacing. Plenty of earthy and resiny citrus hoppiness in the aroma; certainly bitter, and a step ahead of Venom’s bitterness (or at least the most recent batches), but no astrigency. Perfect levels of carbonation; medium-to-full mouthfeel: a nice jolt of chewy citrus hops at the front (resiny and sticky; solid acidity) with some earthy and mineral bitterness following; solid, pleasant malt core that never attempts to overstep the hops: candy sugar, a touch of bready / biscuity malts; a bit of dry dustiness coming through mid-palate. Generous, tasty hop-forward IPA, and a welcome new addition to DuClaw’s standard lineup. We’ll be drinking a lot of this.

Dark amber, creamy off white head. Hopped up fruity grapefruit and peachy caramel aromas. Moderate grapefruit zest bitterness balances on soft bready apricot notes. It’s very well layered over soft caramel malt tones throughout. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, bittersweet finish. A welcome replacement to Venom. Nice job Jim...
