COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
An ode to the Owens Valley and the Highway 395 corridor, this Double IPA is distinctly bolder than out Epic IPA and celebrates the aromas of wild local fresh hops, sage, and juniper.

bb (5888) - Alamo, California, USA - MAR 7, 2009
Bottle. Copper beer with a dark cream colored head. Grapefruit aroma. Grapefruit and light summer fruti flavor with light caramel backing. Medium bodied. Decent bitterness. Grapefruit and light summer fruit linger. A bit too clean.

Ungstrup (26267) - Citizen of the universe, DENMARK - NOV 23, 2009
Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has strong notes of hops and citrus peal, as well as some notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, malt, alcohol, over ripe fruits, and spices, leading to a dry grapefruity finish. Nice one. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

dwyerpg (4067) - Las Vegas, Nevada, USA - SEP 9, 2009
Looks great but the aroma is a bit funky. The flavor has hops that come out at the end, but overall the flavor is not that good. Great finish, but disappointing body.

Reddish color poured from a bomber I got from Mammoth on a ski trip a couple of months back. A bit of sweetness, not as crisp as my favorite IPAs. Good, but a cut below the best.
