COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Winner ’08 NM IPA Challenge, Gold ’08 NM State Fair, 3rd place ’08 Alpha King Challenge. Rahr 2-row, Rahr wheat malt, Simpson’s C-55, and Gambrinus Honey malt...and a whole lotta hops. The hops change from batch to batch, but one thing is for certain; the intention. This is a hop lovers dream. Over 4 lbs. /bbl. goes into this hop dream of a beer. Starting from the nose...the beer could be across the room and you’ll smell it. The the flavor. Jesus that’s a lot of hops. The finish is both dry and bitter as all hell. The body is lean yet satisfying. Cheers, Jeff

Thorpe429 (3824) - Alexandria, Virginia, USA - NOV 27, 2010
On tap at the Brewpub in mid-August 2009. A: Fairly light colored with a little bit of haze and a medium-sized white head that leaves behind some decent lacing. S: Lots of citrus and pine hops with a little bit of tropical fruits sneaking in as well. This one is certainly all about the hops. T: Very similar to the smell. The overall profile is very nice, but I would have liked everything to be just a tad more overpowering. Overall, though, a very good IPA taste. M: Medium body with a good amount of carbonation and the alcohol can’t really be felt. D: Good drinkability. This is a good one, and one of the best we had during our trip to Chama River.

msante79 (1852) - Mount Prospect, Illinois, USA - SEP 22, 2009
On tap at brewery. Pours golden orange with white head. Aroma is hops, caramel, citrus and some malt. Flavor is bitter hops, citrus, caramel malt and a touch of pine. Finsihes with bitter hops but with good malt backbone. Just as hoppy as the DIPA they had on tap tonight. Really solid IPA.

Tap at the restaurant 3/26/09. Bright gold and filtered. Soapy white head. Nose is huge hops, fruity, aromatic. Taste is a huge hop profile, not overly bitter, fluffy, smooth and very drinkable. Full body. Alcohol well hidden. Well done.
