“Emphasizing Amarillo, Horizon, Summit, and Glacier hops with support from five other American varieties. Hops were added in every conceivable part of the brewing process.”
What our panel thought
Aroma: “Skunky dankness, lemony hops, and notes of grainy sweetness. A little citrus character in the back adds sweet fruit-juicy notes. Elements of tropical fruits, dried morel mushrooms, freshly tilled soil, and orange.”
Flavor: “Bright and clean hops profile fades quickly into a nice, lightly sweet grainy finish. Simple and clean. Lemon tartness and light pine flavors dominate. The hops fruit character is showcased here and carries through the finish. A slight bitterness but not too bitter. Some nice warmth is present in the finish as well. Appreciable malt body leads to a long, smooth, balanced finish.”
Overall: “Simple for a double IPA, but quite balanced. Rather full-bodied. Just enough bitterness to cut through the malt and lots of citrus notes with a big dank/earthy punch. Those who don’t love super-bitter IPAs will really enjoy the balance in this. This beer was great. ”
