Style: American IPA
Alcohol by volume (ABV): 7.70%
Availability: Year-round
Notes / Commercial Description:
Named after the hop flower Humulus Lupulus, this India Pale Ale style beer has enormous amounts of hop bitterness, flavor and aroma. With a very complex malt bill, flavors seem to meld with the hops to balance this ale and provide a ridiculous urge to sample more.

Didn't get the theme park, it was more of a hike through a pine forest while drinking a can of grapefruit juice after chewing an aspirin. Pp

Pours a hazy dark orange gold color with a 2 finger dense bone-white head
The aroma is a pleasant blend of biscuit malt, caramel and citrus.
The taste is a strong yet balanced blend of caramel malt and citrus hops up front. Midway through it turns peppery as the moderately strong bitterness kicks in. It finishes with a smooth sweet malt flavor and a lingering bitterness.
The feel is very soft and smooth - like silk really - from the lupulin powder. It makes a big impact on the beer and I think augments well the flavor profile.
I have to admit that I am not a huge west coast IPA guy but this is a superbly well crafted beer and absolutely worth a try.

Aroma of flowers is fabulous! Instantly hits your nose then the nice bitter rounded flavor. Perfect ale. Bitter hops and floral taste. Very alcoholic

Bottled 9/13/17
Amber color, clear, with a huge, sticky, foamy head and tons of lacing.
Pine and lemon hops for miles on the nose.
An enormous amount of bitter, hoppy pine with a small, sweet malt presence.
Medium mouthfeel and slightly high carbonation.
Overall a bit too much pine resin flavor for me but decent beer.
