Some may call this a malty double IPA, some a hoppy barley wine. We prefer that it not be classified. We think of it, simply, as our strong winter ale. Intense hop aromatics and flavor (think pine, candied orange) blended with just enough malt sweetness to balance out the palate.

If you're not a hops-head skip this one.
But wait-- it's not ridiculous-- it's not a distillation of some exotic grove grown hops.
To me this is an IPA-- and nicely balanced too among other ingredients.
The look-- for once a satisfying head, tightly knit sculpted and 3D lacing on the glass.
A translucent amber liquid-- too chemical sounding-- libation! Yes that's it.
Anoint your taster with this libation!
A nose that whafts the armoa of flowery hops.
The flavor has a wonderful presence of hops, bitterness, flowers, garden in bloom-- the earth. It's rounded out with just enough malt to balance the hops but not quite-- the see-saw is tipped in favor of the hops.
The ABV is high-- to tank this one when you're feeling good-- it's enough to make you sing YEAH and open another!
