Draft at TBBC. A rich dark amber pour glares out from underneath a seriously dense, creamy looking off white head. Aroma is of fruity hops and big, slightly toasty malts. Flavor is an onslaught of hops, and malt, seemlessly blended. Big underlying yeast flavor pushes forth the penetrating hop oils and completes a noteworthy attack on the senses. Finishes very long and rigid, a brute of an IPA and an enjoyable one at that. Well done expansion on the regular IPA recipe. Nothing new, but very drinkable indeed.

A fantastic rich IIPA. its got the perfect blend of deep malts and spicy hops that make this beer a true winner. Many floral taste and aromas.

The aroma is full of citrus hops and malt! The appearance is nice for a double IPA. The flavor is bitter and malty. The palate is good for the style. This beer is strong but good.

Kudos’ to David and Brandon for brewing up a massive dose of hops!
Poured a shiny copper body and a full cap of white head. The aroma and flavor are extraordinarily bright with fresh green hops. Not in the wet freshly picked notion of fresh, but more in the fashion young and still forceful. There are insanely large notes of grapefruit and pinesap here. It’s akin to someone trying to smother you with a pillow full of hop pellets. There is a light notion of caramel and a light yeasty hint in the middle of the experience, but it is mainly a menacingly delectable treat of hop fusion…. Which is what this State Needs to help wake up these poorly brewed and tasteless Light Ale and skunky Lager drinkers!

On tap at the brewery....flat out, the hoppiest ale I’ve ever had. Translucent gold-amber with a nice firm off-white head. Nose is hops...it’s as if I was breathing straight from the hop bag just before I dump them into the homebrew wort. Big Cascade up the nose! The flavor was nearly identical, offering an intense hop bitterness. Once it warmed a bit I was able to sense some maltiness, but it was way in the background. The alcohol makes itself known, but in a very acceptable fashion. I wish the mouthfeel was fuller, thicker. Due to my affinity for hops I came away really likeing this, but from a style perspective it comes up a little short. A very tasty I2PA that just doesn’t measure up to the best examples of the style. Having said that---well, I’d still go back for more! Thanks matta for the recommendation.
