We’ve started to refer to the F.Y.I.T.M. as the D.P.A.’s bigger brother. Its father is a blend of 6 different Hop additions and its mother is enough grain to choke a horse. These two met, fell in love and conceived this freak of nature. The end result is a bigger, stronger, faster and creepier beer. God help us all.

A very smooth double IPA. Really well balanced. The color is a bit light and it's a little less full-bodied than most. High abv at 10%. Not boozy at all though - easy drinking.

Cartel's coffee game isn't the only thing that is on point. This beer brings it all. Imagine an IPA hops note on initial contact with your taste buds quickly articulating into a sweet earthy tone leaving the drinker with a calming flavor that I could best compare to robust caramel. This beer is an absolute pleasure to drink, and has made its way to one of my favorite all time beers.

If you haven't been to Cartel or tried any of their beer across the valley, you're doing it wrong. This pours a deeper golden color, very clear and exploding with hop aroma. For near 10% ABV, this is an extremely easy drinking DIPA with a very slight booze taste and I found myself downing 10oz in no time. Clean, great hop mix and a beer of which AZ can be proud
