A staff series beer! Inspired by distro driver & resident DJ, Axel Holmes, this high-ABV, West Coast double IPA packs a punch with massive loads of New Zealand Nelson Sauvin hops. With supporting additions of Citra hops, this hopped brew emits notes of gooseberry, dank, diesel and citrus

Appearance - Pours with a slight haze, yellow-orange in color with a white, finger width head that holds firm before dying to a thin, broken layer of suds with a thick ring hugging the edge of the glass. Good amount of lacing with thick lines and fair sized spotting.
Smell - Citrusy aroma with a resinous tone. Grapefruit and orange terpenes.
Taste - Follows the nose. Clean flavor that hints at orange and grapefruit oil essence, touch of dank, and a mild, lightly toasted malt backbone. Finish lingers with a hint of orange and grapefruit pith.
Mouthfeel - Medium-bodied with fair, lightly bitey carbonation. Slick, smooth texture before a crisp, drying finish.
Overall - Aptly named brew. The hop character exudes citrus oily essence. Smooth, clean and crushable. This is a killer West Coast DIPA!
