Commercial Description:
A pale ale hopped to the extreme! This beer starts out as a nice pale ale until it reaches the kettle. Throughout the course of the 90 minute boil four massive hop additions are made which transform this beer into a hop-head's dream come true. Both Chinook and Tomahawk hops from the Yakima valley are added in extreme quantities for the maximum bitterness, flavor and aroma.

Hopped to the extreme. Smells better than tastes, unfortunately. There is no balance because there is very little malty sweetness to temper the outrageous bittery bent. Nice head though.

Amber/gold pour. Aroma is a mix of honey, floral and citrus hops. Flavor switches back and forth between a bit of sweetness and the prick of the hops. Pretty ok IPA. RIP Dick.

Bottle from Scrizzz (thanks!) Pumpkin colored pour, good citrus and hops aroma and the most carbonation I’ve ever seen in a beer (even when poured very carefully and slowly, the foam just wouldn’t stop). Flavor is woody, malty, mellow hops/copper and very dry on the finish. Aside from the root beer float foam, a very good and easy drinking IPA.

Umber color with a taller fluffy off-white head. Aromas of crystal malt, wood and citrus. Caramel, paler malt, citric hops and touch of tropical fruit flavors. Touch of rust in the finish and into the linger. My last batch of IPA of the west coast is slightly less than awe inspiring.

Pours a nice deep copper with thin white head. No real aroma could be because it is kind of cold. Nice hop presence up front quickly balalnced with a light malt sweetness. Then back to the hop finish. Nice

Bottle from Craft. Deep copper pour with 2-finger off-white head. Nose is caramel malt, orange marmalade, hops. Tastes caramel malty, with notes of pineapple, resiny hops, and black pepper.

12oz - Soapy aroma of lemon, pine sol and some bready malts. Flavor is also soapy, piney hops and some caramel. Palate is a bit astringent. Not too good.

Bottle Pours a clear copper with a big foamy off white head. The head lasts well, and makes some spotty lacing. Has a light aroma of citrus hops, with light touches of caramel malts. Has a good carbonation. The flavor is hoppy. A good amount of bitterness. Blended well and balanced nicely. Has a touch oily texture. A good mouthfeel. The finish is good and a real good aftertaste. I may be a hophead but I really like this one.
