What the brewers say

“A monster double IPA brewed with quite possibly our favorite hop combination ever, Nelson, Galaxy, and Citra.”

What our panel thought

“Light diesel and sulfur-like notes of garlic and green onion slowly fade, allowing aromatics of grapefruit, earthy pine, and a touch of lemon-pepper to emerge. Orange, lemon, pepper, garlic, onion, and pine all blend together in the flavor to create a wildly complex, cohesive, and interesting flavor profile that keeps you coming back for another contemplative sip. The soft mouthfeel and lightly sweet malt body form a perfect canvas to support the complexity of the hop notes. The near-perfect balance of bitterness cleans the palate without stripping away the nuanced complexity of flavors.”

What our editors thought

“Mango-papaya with onion and grassy counterpoints—big and punchy. The sip pulls sweeter fruit but with a delicate restraint, buffered with a gauzy sheen and balanced with a present yet invisible bitterness.”
