This double dry hopped special edition of Countach is inspired by the 1985 LP 5000 Quatrovalvole, which featured a larger engine and double the amount of valves per cylinder. It had the same exotic engineering, sharp angles and bravado- but with more juice under the hood.
This Hazy Double IPA was hand assembled with the finest designer hop products available and unleashes an experience that borders on sensory overload. Mango, tangerine, peaches & cream, melon candy and lime aide all blur by. Its quiet, but edgy bitterness is precisely balanced by its supple mouthfeel. The latest in our Dad’s Dream Ridez series—doors up, shades on, flavor at full throttle.

Can poured into an Alvarado Street Brewery Willi Beecher glass
A: Pours rich hazy golden yellow with a frothy cream white head that settles to a firm layer and laces nicely.
S: Big time exotic, tropical, and orchard fruit, ripe citrus, underlying earthy woodsy notes, a touch resinous and grassy, biscuity bready malt, and caramel sweetness.
T: Big citrus, grapefruit, tangerine, lime, and lemon, ripe exotic, tropical, and orchard fruit, gooseberry, peach, papaya, pineapple, apricot, white grape, pear, mixed berry, melon, and mango, a bit resinous and grassy, faint Southern Hem diesel, underlying woodsy notes, biscuity bready malt, and caramel sweetness.
M: A bit on the fuller side of medium body, moderate carbonation, soft in the palate.
O: I was hoping this one would take the original recipe and turbocharge it with new school hop products, but it would appear that they totally overhauled it. Adding in any hop other than Krush and I probably would have been a bigger fan. It's not bad and I'm sure some will like it more than I do, but for me, it could have been even better.
