Introducing the first in our 'Killing Craft' series- to ensure people define 'craft' with quality and consistency. Brewed with 12 different types of hops: wet hops (personally grown and picked by our brewer Bill VanEenenaam), whole leaf hops and pellet hops. We mash-hopped, first wort hopped, kettle-hopped, Whirlpool-hopped, a HopBack was used, and finally dry-hopped; totaling over 4 pounds of hops per barrel, and using hops from Michigan, elsewhere in the United States, England, Germany and New Zealand. Purposefully brewed under the August Super moon, unfiltered and untamed using twice the amount of grapefruit (equal to over 15,000 of the fruit itself!), showcasing that beers can be intense in flavor, yet refined and balanced in intensity.

I had this beer in draft form at the taproom at Stardust in Saginaw, Mi. I have this beer as one of my all time favs. It is up there with Alien Church by Tired Hands. I believe this to be a New England style IPA. Very dank and delicious. Very cloudy……maybe unfiltered. Full of flavor. You must like bitter and juicy to like this beer.I wish I could get this beer in my home area.

Apparently this is brewed with 12 varieties of hops and grapefruit zest. But the grapefruit zest is so overpowering and bitter that it doesn't really matter that there's a dozen hops. This beer is borderline undrinkable because of the sour bitterness. Like chewing on a grapefruit rind. Not recommended.

L - cloudy light amber
S - Not much smell to this one which is odd since this is a double version of their grapefruit ipa
T - slight maltiness up front w/a mixture of hop bitterness & grapefruit tartness on the backend
Overall this is a really good ipa with plenty of flavor & packs a nice little punch
