On tap in Lancaster as Kryptonite. Poured a clear fizzy copper with foam head and lacing. Hops and malts with a caramel sweet bitterness. Hops in the front with this and a dry sweet hops bitterness at the end. Not a fan of the style but refreshing admire the craft, nice tour of the brewery from the head brewer in Lancaster - Thanks!

AKA : Kryptonite Double IPA draft at Lancaster location. It poured bright amber in color with a thick frothy and sticky beige head. The head left a very nice lacing on the glass. The aroma is of floral and piney hops with notes of a caramel sweetness. Taste of sweet, floral, piney hops prominent. The malt backbone is nice and it lets the hop taste speak for itself without being too thin. For the hop shortage, Iron Hill managed to nail out an awesome IIPA. Very nice.

Draft at NW location. Clear copper coloe with medium off white head. Strong resiny skunky aroma. The taste was the samw with light malt and light sweetness. Thick body that becomes sticky at the end. Very good beer.
