An electrifying unfiltered DIPA packed to the brim with classic and dank hops. We pieced together this monster with Cascade, CTZ, Chinook, Centennial, and Simcoe giving you big citrus, big pine, and all the dankness you could ask for.

I admire any brewery that dares to tread into 8.5+% territory. It's at least 70% art to get high alcohol ales too taste decently. This one is a valiant attempt: but it's harsh and boozy.
I might call it Turpentine's Monster...

This is one or those things where it arrived to the store this week....it's December 23rd. It's a Halloween IPA.... it showed up on the 22nd. This beer is AT LEAST 4 months old now with no date. It smelled skunked, tasted skunked. But if I get to try it fresh I think there's some promise

Picked up a 16 oz can from the Craft Beer Hop Stop cooler 7-24-19 for $2.49. No canning date; Suspect it was canned in late June/early July. Cold stored since purchase.
Beer poured orange with a beautiful white head that is leaving lacing behind.
Nose is nicely dank, grapefruit and pine come forward.
Taste is dank as well, grapefruit and pine lead the way over a medium malt body. Finishes with a nice pine bitterness; 8/10 on my bitterness scale.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, slightly heavy and pretty smooth.
Overall a nice representation of the West Coast style!
