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%!

Pours orangish color with big, rocky off white head. Citrusy hop aroma. Sweet flavor with lots of hops and some malts to balance it out. Overall a decent IIPA, very good for the price.

Pours orange/amber with no bubbles and a medium off-white foamy head. Nice fresh hop aroma with citrus, mango and peach. Pretty salty stuff with a somewhat weak body. Still the flavor is impressive. Tropical fruits emerge and it gets quite juicy. Some tingle in the mouth from the hops. Not the greatest double... but pretty damn good.

big nose on this.... very sweet with a side of hops. pour is brown golden with a bubbly head that retains fairly well and laces the glass. The front end on this is sweet, and the sweetness is immediately thinned out by the perfect shot of hops. medium big body and really a not too overpowering aftertaste. I could say that the commercial description makes sense because it is awfully similar to the regular IPA, but bigger. and thats why i gotta say I like it that much more because of it. Beautiful Job. Little too sweet, but easily one of my favorites. If you could find the medium of this and Stone’s Ruination, I’d be all over it.

Hazy orange with a high head. Powerfull aromatic hops all the way through: grape and lemon with some alcohol to notice. Too much I’m afraid.

750 ml bottle, RBNAG07. Amber colour. Lightly cloudy. Tall fine-laced light beige head. Oily sweet malty nose. Drying hoppy aroma with a slight medicinal aroma. Smooth texture cut by rich and sharp hops. Bitter hops nicely balanced by sweetish malts.

Nice amber poor with decent head. Smell of pine and some citrus. Has a good flavor but not very intense for a double IPA in my opinion. I like it but if I want extreem hops there are two or three others I would go to. Dont get me wrong I like it. Its somewere between a double and regular IPA.

Pours a dark amber. Smells is simple and full of hops and spices. The flavor is bitter yet sweet. Overall a nice balance and is very drinkable.
