Now, I know on the label it says Double IPA-- but let me tell you this beer is *smooth*. An homage to our first-ever beer, and in celebration of our 13th Anniversary this previous weekend, we're highlighting the Richard!

Poured from a draft keg into a 16oz pilsner glass. Amber reddish orange with less than 1 finer of head. Smells of hops and citrus. Label says it is the angry uncle of Hocahoptas. Definitely a big double ipa. Nice blend of hops citrus. More west coast than east coast but high abv. Little bitter on the back end. Thin with not as much flavor add you want. Good not great.

A relatively bland DIPA. Hops are overshadowed by the malt. COTU really needs to step up their game.
