Originally brewed as our 1st Anniversary beer in 2012. It was so good, we keep it coming back each spring. We put an amazing amount of hops into this beer, 4lbs per barrel! It has a lot of tropical fruit and citrus going on, and clocks in at 9.1% ABV. It is highly drinkable and balanced, despite the crazy amount of hops, plus being the biggest beer we have brewed to date. Available starting early spring.

This beer pours a reddish color. The head was extremely thick, frothy, and white.
The nose I get a nice pleasing citrus aroma. Probably leaning toward grapefruit.
The taste is actually a bit mellow up front. There is a grapefruit flavor on the backside, but it's actually a lot more mellow than I'd expect.
The feel is actually a bit watery, which I didn't expect.
Not a bad IPA, overall, but I've had better.

Appearance - Pours semi transparent copper color with nice dense white head.

Aroma - Lots of orange, grapefruit and pineapple. Light resin/hop aroma. Very nice combination of tropical fruit and hops.

Taste - Flavors are very similar to the nose, ripe tropical fruit mango, pineapple the grapefruit and orange peel provide a nice bitter balance. There is also a nice hop flavor as well.

Feel - Medium bodied soft carbonation no sign of the 9.1% alcohol.

Overall - A very solid tasting wonderful smelling beer.

Pours a hazy golden orange with a thin head, lots of lacing when it goes down the glass. Smells citrus-y and hoppy, only distinct thing I get is mango. Nothing overwhelming or standing out, very balanced. This one is a hop bomb, but it balances quickly. Still finishes bitter, but it stays pleasant throughout. Not boozy in the slightest, surprisingly. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and dry. Overall, very very good DIPA and I'll definitely be buying it again.

Nice aroma of mango, pineapple, grapefruit and hop oils. Taste is very tropical, some balanced malts, and moderate bitterness. Very creamy mouthfeel with a dry finish. Excellent DIPA.

From 16oz can.. Pours a slight hazed golden color with a white head and lacing. Fruity smells of pear and grape with citrus. Dank garden hops earthy and fruity with white grapes and some pine resin. Mouth feel is sweet with lingering bitterness . A dank and sweet DIPA , i like this one better on tap. Not one i look for but will try again and again when i see it on tap.
