Commercial Description:
The down economy left brewer Van HAvig with an oversupply of hops. What to do? Please the OBF crowd, that’s what. Heaving hopping in the kettle and hop back and double-dry hopping with the likes of Cascade, Amarillo, Simcoe and Crystal give this beer not only its aggressive bitterness but huge hop aroma and flavor as well.

4 oz pour at the Oregon Brewers Festival in July ’09. This was a hop monster! Spicy and tasty with a superb balance.
