COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Blessed be! Our ridiculously big, hoppy I.P.A. returns to the rapturous exaltations of worshippers far and near. Featuring Simcoe, Amarillo, and Columbus hops at an unheard of rate of over three pounds per barrel, with American pale and Belgian caramel malts providing a malty but dry pedestal upon which this hop fest rides until its long, lingering,hop-bittered finish. Beware this vengeful, Old-Testament God. Say your prayers…

JorisPPattyn (7363) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - MAR 29, 2013
Medium, dense yellow head over red, well-carbonated beer. Bit nutty, very aromatic hops, citrus and lots of exotic fruit, bit of resin. Resin, sweet exotic fruit, quite balanced tastewise. Touch vinous, bit of caramel, going towards toffee. Very thick, viscous beer; well-carbonated; long-lasting main flavour. Excellent! Superbly balanced, worthy of a top Barley wine, if sweeter.

suprchunk (1447) - Heinsberg, GERMANY - MAR 2, 2013
Reddish-brown color. Brilliantly clear. Slight carbonation releases bubbles throughout the drink. Big, creamy, off-white head. Plenty of lacing. Huge bready malt aroma. Fruity notes, some citrus. Big malt backbone. Sweet bread and biscuit. A slight bitterness and a nice lemony aftertaste. Sweet mouth with just a slight tannin presence. Very nice beer. Troubling as well, since it hides its ABV quite nicely.

maneliquor (1700) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - FEB 23, 2013
Bottle from Mane Liquor. Not as impressed with this as their belgian double IPA. That was good shit. This one is much maltier with a lessened hop presence. Very toffee like and a load of piney hops but not so balanced. Fair bit booze too. Maybe I’m just pissed....probably
