Commercial Description:
At the height of the heat in the heart of the summer, we felt that the only cure was a raging mouthful of fresh hops and malt. Caution: May remove enamel from teeth. This is Lagunitas IPA pumped up by about 30%!

Fishing for Coho on Thorne Island in Alaska (pop. 115) and miraculously the general store had a healthy stock of Maximus to go with your typical macro sewer water. Now I know why. Paired with a fresh catch of Silver Salmon, the bitter fruits reveal themselves nicely with a dry hoppy finish.

Ordinary in the glass, with a golden hue and some soapy lacing. Hop aromas dominate -- apricot, grapefruit. Same on the tongue. Good heft a balance, with lots of good caramel malts coming to the show. Overall, a sipper that contains nice floral, pit fruit notes throughout.

Very flowery hops with a nice aroma and great flavor. The hoppyness is well balanced and not very bitter. The cereal grains are very nice and balance the beer well. Very nice hoppy fruit flavor balanced with grain. This has to be the most enjoyable IPA I have had!

Wowza. Aroma is sweetly hoppy. Flavor is, at first a rush of hops, but then you get a lot of that sweet malt flavor. Unlike any IPA Ive ever had. Very nice. Sweet with good strong hop flavor. Nice balance. I recommend.

Bottle. Unclear amber-like. Sweet and grassy nose. Flavour is kind of caramel sweet with a dry bitter finish. A very simple and boring beer

1 ptin 6 oz. bottle purchased at Central Market in Mill Creek. Pours a beautiful amber color, with a hoppy/citrus aroma. Flavor: The same as the aroma, with just the right amount of bitterness.

Pours amber with thick off white head. This one is past it’s prime so the hops are mild and not that noticeable as expected. More malty flavor due to it’s age. Will try again.
