Aroma Coma IPA delivers a citrus hop assault that lives up to its name. We start with just a few handfuls of rye and caramel malt, then we dry hop it twice with a massive amount of Citra hops for an incredible aromatic experience. Keep cold, drink fresh, and inhale aggressively.

Had poured from 12-oz. bottle, label stamped “BOTTLED ON 05/01/19,” into tulip pint.

This is a beautiful, sneaky beer. Amber-gold with a lasting creamy head, with a classic citrus and resin West Coast aroma, it starts smooth and balanced between mild citrus and light malt, before the hops and now 8.00 ABV heat up the finish—and you.

On tap at Drakes Barn, West Sac CA. Pours a clear copper/gold with white head leaving moderate lacing. Nose is big citrus and tropical fruit sweetness. Taste follows with a balanced bitterness . Mighty fine IPA.

Good distribution Drake’s, these guys consistently get their beer on the shelf in less than two weeks if you live in Oakland.

Bottled on 7/13/18, reviewed on 7/27/18.

L: beautiful copper brew, obviously filtered
S: citrusy hops galore, pineapple, orange, mango, very nice
T: big tropical hops, nicely balanced with carmel and malts. Just bitter and dry enough
F: Easy drinker, very refreshing
O: Solid DIPA, well done Drakes

Pours the most appealing cloudy copper with solid head .

Aroma is an enticing orange, tropical fruit, and spices.

Taste is an absolute blast of amazing citrus flavors that makes a lot of other IPA's seem muted.

Solid medium feel. Overall an outstanding DIPA. Definitely one of my favorites and will always pick a pack up when I see them around.

Slightly cloudy, copper colored, with a sudsy head. Streak lacing. Aroma is sweet, bread malt and pineapple. Hints of orange blossom and honey. The flavor is spice and fruit, apricot, tangerine, pineapple, grapefruit, peach, all blended so well. Sounds too good to be true? Add some caramel sweetness to the mix, and just the right touch of that hops oily, resinous bite. A very well balanced and flavorful beer. The flavor lingers in the back of your throat, with just a slight hint of alcohol vapor. Clean though, not thick and heavy. Just right. A very good beer overall.
