Commercial Description:
At the height of the heat in the heart of the summer, we felt that the only cure was a raging mouthful of fresh hops and malt. Caution: May remove enamel from teeth. This is Lagunitas IPA pumped up by about 30%!

Bottle. Poured a clear golden-copper color with a thick off-white head that left some nice spotty lacing. Aroma of light citrus, some earthy hops, and a light pine. Light caramel malt on entry leads into a sweet citrus flavor with a moderate hoppiness with a light earthy-leafiness. Smooth, lightly bitter finish with some decent bite. Not bad, pretty solid IPA. I would like to try it really fresh.

Bottle, pours a clear orange with an offwhite head. Aroma is sweet and hoppy! Flavor is bitter and dry hops. What a great deal for this beer only $3.50. This is a classic great Double IPA

Nice and hoppy! I like this beer with its golden color and white lacing, to its hops in the nose and its amazing bitter taste...whats not to like!

bottle. pours with a slight cream colored head. aroma notes of citrus and pine. First taste wonderful grapefruit notes. Finish was little to hot with alcohol.

The Maximus name fits this 2XIPA, crammed with hops. More than just the standard C-hops, over the top bitterness. Thick bodied beer, one to savor not guzzle.

The color was golden/orange. The head was creamy, thin, and white. The aroma was apricot, citris, and hops. The flavor was fermenting fruit, apricot, and hops. The palate was medium-bodied. The finish was warm.

Finally in NC. Porus a copper amber with a sticky offwhite head. The pour is obviously more viscous than an average brew. The aroma is very intensely hoppy, resinous, citrusy, zesty. The flavor is also very intense, hoppy, waxy, bitter, citrusy, resinous, piney, earthy as well. Very nice hop flavor. Waxy bitter mouthfeel. very nice flavorful DIPA.

bottle. Gooey hop laced ale w/ just enough malts to keep you drinking. Syrupy tongue touched by a hint of alcohol & a slightly sharp pine/grapefruit linger. Very nicely done, a real drinker.
