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 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.

At Three Cellars tasting. Light orange with pine and sweet hop aroma. Nicely balanced with sweet malt followed by citric hop finish. Good stuff!

Big Bottle. Poured a clear medium amber. Creamy, light-khaki colored thin head stayed around for some time. Excellent carbonation. Aroma was of hops, plain and simple. Tase was hoppy with a very, very light, almost nonexistent hint of malt. Aftertaste was also very pleasant. Definitely a repeat buy.

Great looking beer. Piney hops over a rather sweet malt base. Pretty tasty.
