COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The name is a tribute to the hop shortage a few years ago. A imperial IPA aged on oak using Columbus, Centennial and cascades as the bittering hops and dry hopping with Simcoe, Ahtanum, Amarillo, and Cascades.

Draft @ 21st Amendment. Poured a clear gold color with a good sized off-white head. Very big hop forward aroma. Great notes of citrus and pine. The flavor was big in the hops as well. Nice citrus notes that covers the malt. Medium body and warming but it hides the alcohol very well. Nice beer!

As with IrishBoy, at the 8th DIPA Fest, Hayward. Not the screamer that I would imaging a DIPA could be, but still very balanced, and large. The 11% Alcohol was where????

IrishBoy (3334) - Bakersfield, California, USA - FEB 9, 2008
Draft at the Bistro’s 8th DIPA Fest; Nose of piney and citrsy hops (lots); Clear amber with a big off-white head; flavor has citrus, pine, light caramel with a lightly bitter hop finish! High alcohol completely covered; Pretty good new DIPA even with the hop shortage!
