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 amber with a rocky off-white head. The first glass of the bomber is clear amber while the second glass has a good amount of floaties. Aroma is malty, bready and yeasty. Taste is nicely bitter and sweet with a ton of hops with grapefruit, citrus, vanilla and pine. Chewy, earthy and spicy. Good malt backing. Nice lacing on the glass. Mouthfeel is perfect; full, round and creamy. Good stuff.

22 oz bomber shared with rebelbeerguy. Poured a hazy orangeish/amber with a small off white head. Aroma was flowers, pine and some caramel malt in the background. Flavor was a little weak compared to the aroma but pleasant none the less. Pretty good beer all around.

This beer pours a copper color with a thick one finger gold head. A delicious nose of sweet fruit, floral notes, and caramel. Flavor offers a quite complex hop profile. Some nice spice notes, as well. Caramel is very much in the background. This beer bumps up against the Barleywine category.

Bright orange color with no real head. Sharp mouthfeel when cold. Light flavor, not a very strong IIPA. Bitter aftertaste. Pretty damn good, but more of what I would expect from a IPA not a double IPA.

12 oz bottle. Crystal clear topaz with a bone head; lots of lacy sheets. Nose is orange peel, tangerine and mango with hints of banana. Creamy, tangy and spicy with some nice hop resins. Taste is orange juice concentrate, maple, caramel and pine. A sweet treat with a subtle bitter finish.

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