Gold copper color, light head & lacing. The aroma is full of hops, sterling or amarillo, very earthy but bright & clean. The flavor has a good amount of bitterness but not what I was expecting for 101 IBUs. A weird dry basil aftertaste with a full mouthfeel.

This is a pretty good IPA. Good colour, good taste. If you hold your nose up to it, you will notice the smell of yeast. Then, you will begin to taste it. Overall a good beer.

Dark orange pour, somewhat hazy. Strong aroma of floral, dry hops. Some earthiness in the flavor. Grapefruit, flowery, lightly toasted malt. The finish is lingering and hoppy, very rewarding IPA.

Man oh man, the name couldn’t be more accurate. This was a hop monstrosity, almost too much for me to take. But I survived, and I would like to try it again.

Golden amber color with a white head. Strong hopped aroma. Taste started malty with a nice bitter finish. There was something in the taste that i couldn’t quite grasp, so my best guess was almost a perfume taste. Nice smooth mouthfeel.
