This is heavy-duty, Doc.
The only libation known to be more dangerous than stealing plutonium off Libyan nationalists, this brain-melting DIPA skirts all convention in the name of exploratory endeavors. 1.21 Gigawatts of Bingo Juice driven 88 mph to full dryness. Enigma and Citra act kindly in concert with that sweet, smooth-grove Cashmere.
Pepsi Free?
You want a Pepsi, pal, you're gonna have to pay for it.

1 PINT can
Served in an oversized, stemless, wine glass
This beer pours yellow and turbid. It is topped with an inch of tan head that leaves spotty lacing.
Dank with a little resin. Grapefruit
Citrus flavors with a light pine taste.
Medium bodied with a creamy, smooth mouthfeel
Easy drinking as a 9%er can be. Hoof makes some dangerously easy drinking high abv beers.

Pours cloudy gold with an inch of white fluff. Moderate retention and lacing. Dank and oniony in the nose. Papaya, garlic, pineapple. Medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel. Juicy citrus on the palate with minimal malt or bitterness. Pineapple skins, mango, unripe peach. Finishes fairly dry and pithy with dank citrus.

Hoof Hearted Brewing
IPA - Imperial / Double
Notes:
Love the very "freshly picked' style hoppy nose! Huge mango and citrus with dank earth and lupulin sticky icky. 9% doesn't seem possible within this dank, fruity, earthy hop juice machine. It's so smooth and silky, practically no heat. Dryness and juicy. The body is so light it almost feels a bit watery. A nice peppery kick with black pepper in the hop aroma and taste.
Purchased at Monadnock Food Co-op

A - Opaque, dark yellow gold color with a moderate creamy white ring of lacing.
S - Tropical fruit, citrus, and some Stone Fruit dominate the nose.
T - Taste follows with a subtle blend of citrus and tropical fruit from start to finish. Starts fruity and ends on the sweeter, fruitier side. Peach, apricot, passion fruit, and light tropical fruit.
M - Same texture I get with all of the New England IPA's injected with those oaty, spelty grains = Thick, chewy, and pillowy soft. Dry on the back of the tongue while the rest of the mouth waters.
O - Solid and worth a try.

As an avid skier I find the name and packaging quite clever. We love those movies - why didn't I use that line before. I am also a huge fan of the brewer. I was amazed to find a couple of theirs at the fancy liquor store right at the base at Steamboat last month.
This pours a lovely yellow and completely cloudy with fine head. The hazy IPA stench is there as is the juicy mouthfeel.
Recommended. It's a powerful IPA that can cut through all other tastes.

Pint can poured in to a nonic glass. Dated 01/08/20
Look- Hazy, almost murky, golden straw color, nice bright white head with great retention and lots of stickylacing. Light carbonation streaming as it sits.
Smell- Citrus (orange/tangerine, grapefruit, sweet lemon and tangy lime), tropical fruits (pineapple, mango, passion fruit and papaya), stone fruit (peach/apricot), a bit of melon, grainy malt, slight pine and spicy/herbal notes.
Taste- Juicy citrus, stone fruit and melon, slightly acidic pineapple, tropical fruit, some white pepper, light malt and pine evident.
Feel- Medium bodied, somewhat sweet and soft with a light lingering bitter finish, well balanced. Moderate/light carbonation on the tongue.
O- A seriously wonderful DIPA, another NE hazy that the west coast breweries try to emulate and miss the mark.
