Our yearly unfiltered Double IPA loaded with more whole cone fresh hops than any other beer we brew. Hopped with fresh Sterling, Neo, Galena, then boosted with Nugget and Magnum this juicy Festive Ale is a real mouthful!

On tap at Willibrew. Pours a clear amber color with almost no head. Some lacing. Boozey aroma with lots of sweet pine and some citrus. Smells a bit like a barelywine. The taste is boozey with caramel malts, pine and resin. Bitter but juicy. Piney, resinous finish. Oily mouthfeel with low carbonation. Pretty solid Imperial IPA.

Draught @ Brewpub: This one pours a hazy golden color. there was no head or lacing. It has a good nose. Malty, with lots of hops. Tropical, pine and citrus. the taste is similar. Very nice!
