Commercial Description:
This is a very special Ale that is brewed to raise money for a non-profit charity. Brewed with 65 lbs. of hops (the Big, But Blond is made with 3 lbs. and the Sloughhouse with 22 lbs.) this beer is very hoppy and strong. Not for the faint of heart. 25 cents per pint goes to the charity.

Tasted at Ca Brewers Fest. Humongus hop aroma and flavor but bitterness is lower than you would expect. Med Full body, nice and creamy on palate. Leaves a nice hop aftertaste..If your a Hophead, You should like this beer..

GABF 2007: The beer poured a very hazy amber color with an off-white head. Grapefruit hops leap out with some caramel underneath. Citrus and grapefruit flavor throughout, from front to back. Dry moderately bitter finish. Medium body. It hides the alcohol very well.
