Commercial Description:
The beer formerly known as Ultra, our double IPA. A nice malt backbone and warming alcohol, take a supporting role to the massive hop bitterness, flavor and aroma. Distinctly American, with Cascade, Simcoe and Columbus hops, 6 different additions during the boil and then the hot wort is strained through 15# of fresh whole hops. If you like hoppy beers give it a try, if you don’t you can probably use it to degrease your engine.

Courtesy of tpd975. Pours brilliant clear copper bringing up tall off white head of foam. The aroma has some solid maltiness and pine hops to go along with more malts becoming mildly roasted near the end of the draw. The taste has a hit of pine hops and bitter citrus being quickly followed up by rich malts that run into knee deep flavor. Nice stuff with full rich mouth feel. The hops hang on and sting the palate with grapefruit and pine hop bitterness into the after taste.

Courtesy of tpd975. Pours hazy blonde, off white head. Aroma is yeasty Taste, malty caramel, light hops and citrus notes. Had the bottom of bottle to taste, not the best accurate review, had a lot of sediments.

Bottle courtesy of tpd975. Pours a hazy copper with a large off-white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma is loaded with citrus hops and is followed by sweet malt and a touch of caramel. Taste is the same as aroma but less prominent. Medium mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness and smooth alcohol. Very good.

750ml bottle. Pours a cloudy orange with a big and fizzy off white head. Nose of wet grass, herbal hop resin, and some citrus. Full bodied and bitter. Dry finish with a good amount of alcohol throughout the palate. Smooth malts with a pleasant citrus acidity.
