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%!

Easily the best IPA available in Arizona. "Head" and shoulders better than the dull, mono-dimensional brews from Ale Smith and Stone that have better reviews. I can only assume that not many people have had the chance to enjoy this wonderful concoction.

Wow... I’ve died and gone to hop heaven. Great hop bite with a hint of maltiness. Alcohol is subtle but noticeable. Very, very good.

Non-playin’ West Coast Hop Monster. No finess, no balance. Just drink it.
