I ordered their "hoppiest" brew, and this is what I got. Yellow color. Medium hops in aroma and taste,. OK but not super.

tap at the brewpub - A pleasant citrus hops aroma wafts up from this ale. The strong hops presence lends both citrus and pine notes to the flavor. Balanced well with the malt presence, this medium bodied brew leaves a crisp, hoppy finish. Very good!

On tap at the brewpub. This one came off way too sweet to be a big double IPA. The hops are present but not in the robust form one would expect nor do they linger at all. Alright.

Strong grapefruit and pine nose. Caramel backbone fairy robust, though I found the body too thin. Signifigant hoppiness in the finish...with vibrant grapefruit and pine resin notes.

This draft brew from the brewery poured a medium sized head of white colored frothy fine to medium sized mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a transparent copper brown colored body with no carbonation and a good lacing. The aroma was hoppy with caramel malty notes. The mouth feel was strong and tingly with a hoppy start and a strong lingering hop finish and a touch of caramel in the aftertaste. Very piny hop flavor with mild caramel notes but very yummy none-the-less. Nice brew!

Draft at Kraftbrau. Small ivory head that was mostly diminished, fine-small sized bubbles, excellent lacing, transparent, no visible carbonation, and an orange hue. Aroma was heavily hoppy. Flavor was sweet, and hoppy. Smooth mouthfeel. Medium body.
