COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
With passion and purpose, we present this series of hop-centric beers. Using different hop varieties and brewing techniques, we aim to capture bold, distinct hop characteristics in aroma, flavor and finish. While we explore the world of hops, we invite you to learn along with us: these beers offer an incredible opportunity to experience the diversity of hops while engaging the palate and obliterating the senses.

Obliteration I is a Double IPA, heavily hopped with a big malt base. Its aroma is pungent with citrus, onion, and a touch of alcohol. The sweetness of caramel malt is offset with spice and pepper flavors that lead into an overwhelmingly bitter finish

Bottle brought to me and shared with my brother. Clear light gold under a quickly fading medium white head. Big piney hop aroma with strong grapefruit notes as well. Medium body and carbonation, resinous. Quite bitter up front with some malty sweetness that takes the edge off, but it remains somewhat unbalanced in that regard, at least for my tastes. Still, it has its merits, and I would be interested in trying the more highly rated Obliteration II.

TomDecapolis (4222) - Lawrence, Kansas, USA - JUL 9, 2007

Pours a translucent golden amber with a medium bubbly off white head that left some lacing on the glass. Aroma was tons of hop pellets, loads of citrus, some grapefruit, light pine and caramel malt. Flavor of pine, grapefruit, loads of hop flavor, some caramel malt. Loads of hops with a bunch of malt to balance. Nicely done!
