Formerly known as Quitness.
Beware, drinker! Hop hysteria could happen to you! Especially after indulging in our dry-hopped double IPA's shockingly intense tropical aromas and hair-raising bitterness.

My absolute favorite beer. This brew has everything. When you pour this you'll notice the thick amber aura that radiates from the glass followed by a sweet-citrus aroma that lingers. The first sip you take will punch you in the mouth with a bold hoppiness with the perfect amount of bite followed by an almost sickly sweet maltiness. This is the type of beer that you can't stop drinking once you start. Highly recommend this beer!

Murky yellow-orange hue.
Off-white head; frothy lace.
Pine & soap nose.
Medium mouthfeel.
Fresh, crisp pine with a bitter finish. Not my style of IPA but well done.

12 oz. bottle poured into a tulip glass.
L---Rich, hazy amber color. Fluffy off-white head with little retention (left a persistent cap, though). Very nice lacing.
S---Maltier than I was expecting. Caramel & breadiness. Plenty of hops as well. Citrus & pine. Excellently balanced between hops & malts.
T---Juicy citrus is in the forefront. Pine & malts come in the background.
F---Heavier than I was expecting. Nicely carbonated.
O---Not one to chug or have a bunch of. A slow sipper. Excellent, overall.

Very bitter and malty but I am enjoying after best by date. Poured a beautiful amber in a pint glass. Smell and taste is malt forward with slight hip citrus feel. Not a favorite but solid beer.
