I had this at HotD. Allen’s OBF Friday get together. Holy Sh*t! Hop Monster. Great hop bitterness. If you are one of these Belguim wussies... don’t go here. Golden in color. Bought a whole case to bring back to Atl.

This was my favorite IPA at Hopfest in Seattle at the Brower’s bar. It was a week long festival and i think the blue dot keg was kicked the first day

On tap at horsebrass pub HUGE citrus nose! Grapefruit up front with some orange and peach in the background. Medium mouthfeel with some malty sweetness followed by a huge bitter punch in the face. Aftertaste could linger for hours. Sticky, resiny coating in the back of your throat the never ends. I was extremely impressed by this beer.

On tap at HDG. Gold in color with a nice thick white head. Citrusy hoppy aroma. Fruity notes. Apricot and pineapple. Hoppy flavor. Citrusy hops. Not too sweet. Finish is dry. Medium bodied. Well balanced. Smooth. Very nice beer.
