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%!

Not too sweet and undercarbonated like other Impy IPA. Great flavour and dry without any overbearing, unseemly bite. Clearly an IPA but a steadier experince from nose to finish like some of the great dry pale ales are. Great especially give the affordabe price. Only drawback is an odd aftertaste.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber brown with a diminishing head that leaves nice lacing in the class. Thick, grassy cascade hop aroma. Initial sweetness is balanced by tremendous bitterness, all inside a viscous body. The finish is lingering and pleasant.

Pours hazy golden amber with a thin cream colored head. Aroma is of nice citrusy slightly piny hops. Flavor is big bittersweet citrusy hops with a big lasting finish and a little bit of malt to balance it out. Very good.

On tap at the brewery’s loft / tasting room. Thick and delicious without tasting like hop resin. After reading a few other reviews that suggested this beer tastes like tea, I now know why I sometimes think my tea tastes like beer.

Hazy orange color; Sweet, but not overly so; caramel notes, quite bitter, with grapefruit and orange; bitter hop finish; great balance and a nearly perfect palate. this has been my go-to beer for a few months now. K-7.5

Here is a DIPA for the ages! Everything about this ale is superb, from the citrus aroma to the perfectly balanced aftertaste. In between are a nice copper/orange color, a beautiful off-white head with excellent lacing and a taste that tells you it’s a DIPA - not by its strength but by its depth. Mouthfeel is opulent. All this combines to perfectly integrate the higher alcohol content. Definitely a keeper.
