Commercial Description:
Two things distinguishes this pale ale from our standard pale. First is the color. We've made some minor deletions in some dark caramel malt and the most obvious is that we poured the hops to it. Much like an India Pale Ale as bitterness goes, however this beer features Northwest American bittering and aroma hops. (The IPA featured English style hops). Not for the faint of heart. A bold assertive brew with distinguishing citrus smells and flavors from the hops. Yet the malty sweetness is there enough to provide flavor stability.

Pours a amber color with a large frothy bubbled white head. Aroma is lightly sweet with big hops with lots of citrus and some herbs. Flavor is peppery and spicy but nicely balanced with caramel sweetness. Long sweet finish with lots of residual bitterness.

Pours a dark hazey copper colour with a full frothy white head. Aroma is well hopped, floral with grapefruit accents. Taste is bubbly, hints of spice and caramel throughout. A dominant citrus character on the palate, finishes firm with hops and lingering bitter finish.

dam is this hoppy. Just incredible amounts of bittering hops in this stuff. light in color medium white head. it’s not really balanced at all. Just the beer i’ve been hoping to find for a long time. just tears yer larnyx out. hoppiest IPA i have had. i’d have to go side by side but it’s likely more harsh than even furious.! WOOOOOO HOOOOOO

this is the hoppiest APA i have ever had. The smell is amazing, piney, fruity goodness. Lots of bitter hops greet your palate with a wham, and i think my toungue was numb after the second pint. Doesnt look like others thought it was a hop bomb, but this is coming from a guy who drinks Furious every day, and this was right up there with that. Made even better after getting a free growler. One of the best pale ales i have had.

<i>On tap.</i><br />Pours a very lightly cloudy, light amber color with a decent head of very tightly packed bubbles that provide excellent lacing.. Big floral & piney hop aroma with decent citrus; sweet, moderately rich malt shows up too. Pine dominates the flavor, perhaps a little too much; almost tastes like dish soap. Citrus and malt sweetness are not absent but don’t provide enough support for the big hop bitterness. Medium body and slightly sticky palate. Definitely on the right track but not quite balanced enough for my tastes.
