Commercial Description:
If you like hops this is the beer for you!! American 2-row and a variety of Caramel Malts set the tone for this hoppy pleasure. With five different hop varieties over the course of six additions, you will hardly notice the 10% ABV. So get it while you can, because it won't be around for long.

Lightly hazy dark crimson/mahogany with moderate signs of carbonation based on ABV. The aroma is fairly lacking but the alcohol & sweetness are apparent. Needs dry hopping really bad! The flavor is very sweet with some mild bitterness and a musky hop finish. HUGE mouthfeel that makes this a bit tough to drink. Lots of hopiness but just doesn’t balance it enough to be enjoyable.
