Ironworks Hop Delivery Vehicle

Brewed by Ironworks Brewery and Pub
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Lakewood, Colorado USA

Sampled at the 5th Annual Wildland Firefighters Benefit & Festival. Beer is hazy medium amber with a small, beige, frothy-creamy, diminishing head.<P> The aroma is malty with light notes of toasted grain and caramel; Hoppy with an unreal amount of powerful, concentrated resin/pine, heavy dried apricot, moderate note of green grass, grapefruit oil, light note of tea; Yeasty with a trace of sweaty dough.<P> The flavor is heavily sweet, light-to-moderately biter with a long, lightly acidic, moderately bittersweet finish. Slightly astringency on the gums. Not just grippy, but squeaky with hop oils. Aftertaste keeps on giving.<P> The body is full, the texture is velvety and the carbonation is lively.<P> Seems out of whack and drinks like a hop-head dare. ;)
