Commercial Description:
Hold onto your hats, or even better - your lips! This bitter beer is for "hop-heads" only. Ripe with floral and citrus notes, our new "india pale ale" is so packed with Centennial and Chinook hops it should be green (the color of hops). It's also unfiltered and dry-hopped. Are you up to the challenge? 12.7 degrees Plato, 50 IBU

Pours a slightly hazy orange bronze with a spotty-lacing white head. Aroma of fresh grapefruity hops and some lightly sweet pale malt. Body starts with good fullness and carbonation along with sweet, toasted pale malt and some earthy citrusy bittering and flavor hops before a crisp, bittersweet finish. A pretty nice IPA.

Pours a cloudy orange amber color with a thin head streaks of laceing along the sides of the glass. There is also a bunch of suspended particles in the glass. The nose is really floral and smells like pine trees and citrus. The taste is so bitter and full of pine and spruce. The after taste has an oak finish and the carbonation is perfect.

White head and a pale orange body. Mildly fruity, but mostly hoppy aroma. Taste is of dry and piny hops. The hops are however done in moderation and it is not a hop slaughter beer. Also there is detectable fruitiness in the taste. I thought it was quite alright.

Bottle in Antwerp. Shared it with a friend. The smell alone already says that this is a very hopy beer. And the taste is extreme hop bitter. If you do not like bitter beers do not try this one. This is the most bitter beer i tasted so far. Increadibale
