Double IPA hopped with over 4 pounds per barrel of Columbus, Cascade, El Dorado, Amarillo and whole leaf Mosaic and Citra hops. Big tropical hop notes on the nose with a nice malty backbone to keep the hops in check. Deceptively easy drinking despite it’s high ABV and IBU’s.

Dead Stick may be Iron Bird's best beer: sticky, resinous, the right color, good hops/malt balance, good mouth feel overall. It takes their basic IPA style and elevates it with the right amount of sweetness without ever getting cloying. Hard to tell if any extras are in the mix, but it's a great example of the style (DIPA). Strong - and have more than 2 and you'll be feeling it.
