This was a very delicious IPA, rich and smooth with ample amounts of flavor and malt character. The hopping is so aggressive, but it never gets out of hand, it still stays balanced, right into the finish.

Tap @ the Bistro's Double IPA Festival. This was the co-champion for the event. Medium golden color with a foamy off-white head. A nice touch of dark fruit in the aftertaste with good fresh hops and more balanced than most double IPAs. Not as full an assault on the palate, which was nice. Yet with 9.9% abv it packs a punch.

Hops not as explosive as ifrst i had this but still very impressive mix of the piney and the citrus, in aroma as well as flavor. surprisingly light in color and crisp in body, the preponderance of hops seems almost unfai; as if the brewers knew to not try a malt presence like most others.
