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%!

UPDATED: JUN 8, 2004 Really tasty double! Satiated my hop craving. Nice malt flavors accented by a little grapefruit. A big beer that is also very nicely balanced.

Darkover (1449) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - MAR 5, 2007
Hazy orange color with a beige head. Aroma of pine and citrus hops. Flavor of grapefruit hops. Not very malty, and pretty mild for a 2IPA, but its really good.

Resin and grapefruit aroma (and malt). Gold tending towards reddish amber (top to bottom under halogen), maybe a ruby hint towards the bottom. Medium feel, malt to start, moving to hops, to grapefruit, to hops. Grapefruit noticeable at the finish. Swish and it’s chewable. Swish and an apricot component appears. And it’s 78 ibu. Nicely astringent when all is done. Pine in the burp. Really, really, great.

acquired from cquiroga. hazy copper color with a nice light beige head. aroma is astringent and sharp with pine. flavor reveals the similar qualities to the aroma, just a bit more subdued, the malts show up much more in the flavor. brown sugar quality to the flavor. the hops linger too, so this beer is damn nice..thanks to cquiroga for this one.

If you like hops, this is the brew for you. Nice hop aroma. Good balance throughout the body. Finishes nice and bitter.

Bottle. Wonderful deep golden hazy appearance. Rather smooth and balanced for an IPA, almost creamy. Hops galore!

UPDATED: MAR 9, 2005 Dazzling, sparkling ,snazzy...top was collapsed avalanche ...aroma sung with chrismas trees with fruity candy-canes and hot lawnmowers...wam bam thank you mam hop onslaught...fruit cocktail with little cherries kept the hops from completely taking over...imagine chewing endlessly on a grapefruit peel...Exactly what an IPA should be like

Very nice, in fact, it seemed much better than the last time i tried it. Not the most bitter beers in the world, it actually had pretty good balance despite the name. Highlly recomended!

Glouglouburp (4783) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - JAN 17, 2007
Clear copper body topped by a medium off-white head. This is a very clean IIPA. The relatively low abv is well hidden so the beer feels like an intense IPA rather than an IIPA. Grainy malts, peppery hops, low sweetness, oily body. Very hoppy with medium bitterness. Excellent, trully a maxi-must.
