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%!

660ml bottle @ RBNAG’07. Hazy orange body with a medium beige head. Aroma is really lovely citrus hoppy and hay. Flavor is sweet warming hoppy, lots of hops but no extreme impression. Very nice.

22oz bottle. Pours a clear honey golden color with a nice compact, creamy white head and good lacing. Aroma is earthy, pungent hops. A bit spicy with a strong malt background. Taste is balanced with a vanilla like malt presence and bitter hops. Don’t know how old this is but it doesn’t taste super fresh. Still it’s drinking quite nicely and is a nice, drinkable, balanced example of the style if not a hop bomb that I prefer.

[ Thanks to fonefan ] Cobber of color with a beige head. An aroma of hops, grass, liqurice and malt. A flavor of grapefruit, hops, malty notes and liqurice.

Pine and a bit of citrus in the aroma. Hops that smack you in the face. This brewery does no wrong for me. Not available in Missouri, but supposedly available just over the Illinois border. Excellent double IPA without the heavy malts that many have.

Dense one finger beige head over an unclear copper colored body. Moderate (for the style) fruity and grassy hop aroma. Whiffs of caramel and earth. Sweetish malts and a fair amount of bittering hops in the flavor. Clean mouthfeel. Medium body. Long bitterness in the finish. Nice. (Bottle @ RBNAG’07)

Pours a hazy amber colour with a large rocky-frothy off white head. Aroma is fruity, with lots of hops. Initial taste is soft fruity and sweet malts. Mouthfeel is a soft carbonation with a bitter hop that coats the entire palate. Head retention is good and the lacing the glass looks absolutely excellent, completely slapped and pasted over. Long, good finish. Wonderful!

Bottle. Unclear medium orange color with a average, frothy / creamy, good lacing, mostly lasting, beige head. Aroma is moderate to light heavy hoppy, grass, pine, citrus, light to moderate malty, caramel. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (271007)

Pillowy whitehead that stands the test of time. Lovely lace and a big floral hop aroma. In a nutshell a classic California hoppy IPA that is very resinous. The palate is dry and bitter with tropical fruit and orange scented hops. The finish is long and hoppy with a dash of malt to keep this beer honest.
