Big brother to our flagship Igneous IPA. This West Coast Double IPA is packed with citrus fruit and resinous character. This hop bomb is highlighted by Alora, Citra, Cascade, and Chinook. Ignatius is not igneous, but it is ingenious!

Had Ignatius poured from 12-oz. can, no date, into tulip pint.

Pours medium gold with clarity and 1- to 2-finger, foamy, off-white head, with excellent retention, leaving thick, overlapping rings of lace down the glass. Dry malt and herbal aromas off pour, then berry, resin and sweet citrus aromas, and as warms some hop spice, tropical fruit, floral, lime, and tart and sweet stone fruit aromas. On tasting, begins piney, with berries, then more growing resin, which does reveal some lime and sweeter citrus, over a little mild caramel malt, before a big, bitter, piney, but also malty smooth and rich, still a bit fruity finish.

A very complex aroma profile, unsurprisingly with that hop bill, and richly malty, with a still deeply, bitterly West Coast finish.
