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.

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.

Bottled. Murky orange pour, tan head. Nose is malty, heavy, caramel, hop resin, pine, orange, butterscotch, toffee, maple syrup. Medium body, alcohol notes, mild carbonation. Heavy bitter finish. A good double IPA, but not a great double IPA.

Bottle shared by mmm///beer. Thanks man!
Pours a warm caramel color with a light beige head. Smell is nice and sweet with rich, creamy caramel and light hops. Taste is more hoppy and earthy than the smell would indicate with some drying hoppiness and less malt than expected as well. Still some sticky caramel flavor in the background. A nice, and different DIPA, I thought.

25.4 oz bottle (751mL) poured into tulip- poured a darken copper color, light carbonation, one finger high head very faint amber in color formed and stayed for a little bit. Aroma of pine, floral hops, and citrus. Hits the mouth with a medium body, malt tastes very slightly roasted which makes it just that much more enjoyable, no sweetness can be noted, hops come in the middle and linger after each swallow. Alcohol has warming effect, but still hidden well enough not to notice- it doesn’t stand out like a sore thumb. Everything is in balance- you have to love the label, and you have to love this brew too!

Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is pretty malty with caramel malts. Citrus hops are present but don’t come out too much with some alcohol as well in the background. Flavor is caramel malts at first. Finishes bitter with citrus hops and some warming but not what I expected.
