This sticky, resinous extra dank double IPA is ready to take you on a trip. Destination? Bonk City. By using the choicest Yakima hops in unreasonable quantities, this DIPA is both bracingly aromatic and the right amount of bitter. We packed Bonk City with our favorite Columbus Cryo hops which results in citrus, pine, and those familiar dank aromas you love to see from us.

16oz can. Poured out a slightly cloudy, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of foam. it left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of guava, orange, caramel and piney aromas. Sweet tropical fruit taste with toasted caramel and a piney bitterness.
