COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The elusive brew is made from pilsner malt and amber malt with an original gravity of 26.5?P, yielding an 11% abv. It's hopped with Warrior and Glacier varieties. Primary fermentation takes place in open vessels using two yeast strains, one American and one English. For added complexity, the beer is conditioned on barrel staves of French Oak for four months before being dry hopped with Glacier at the rate of a half-pound per barrel. This elixir is then blended 50/50 with 90 Minute IPA. After blending, the beer will measure 80 IBU and 10% abv. Bottled in corked bottles through Michael Jackson’s rare beer club by late November 04 and available in 12 ounce full distribution in early January 05.

Pours a light copper color with a fluffy white head with good retention. Floral hops and a hint of oak goes up the nose fast. Rich creamy taste with just the right amount of oak and a dry hop finish that is strong but not overwhelming. Loved this one!

100th review. This is a fantastic beer. I also love how it’s made. Pours solid orange. Aroma of biting hops, and some oak. Citrus as well. Flavor is very well balanced. Hops, oak and a nice malt compliment each other well. Full bodied and balanced, hops are present all the way but not overpowering. Great brew

Bottle, pours a nice amber, with a decent head, the aroma on this one is really nice, this is one of the best tasting DIPA I have had in a while, it is full bodied and the Hop blend is really solid, very enjoyable beer
