    Amazing as usual this year. Aromas and flavors of huge mango, honeydew melon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, peppercorn, and pine hops; with moderate honey, white bread dough, spicy rye malt balance; and herbal, floral, grassy hops earthiness. Moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium-full bodied with balanced creamy/bready/grainy malts and sticky/resin/rindy hops in the mouthfeel. Moderate increasing resin/rind dryness, no hop astringency. Minimal warming ABV, dangerously smooth. Insane dankness across the board. This is basically just imperial Born Yesterday IMO, very similar if not the same hops. Ekuanot, Galaxy, Simcoe, and Mosaic was the first batch, probably similar here. This has all of the same dankness at a much higher ABV, while remaining well attenuated and not overly sweet for over 11.7%. Mosaic and Ekuanot are my favorite hops. Got 2 packs immediately. Might even get a third if they keep hanging around.

    I've split that the last couple times I opened a bomber. Not only is it high abv, but it's very rich. I really love it, but it's a beast.

    Good morning BA
    I haven’t been drinking a lot of hoppy beer lately because too many brewers are trying to sell rushed mediocre home brew in a 16 ounce can at a premium. Love that 3F is doing more 12 ounce bottles now.

    This is like a cross between a session IPA and a pale ale. Excellent use of hops at a lower ABV. I picked up a couple 4 packs of Juju as well. Cheers all!

    Ascension brewing
    Double Barrel Killswitch
    11.8%



    Actually reminds me of Dragons Milk.
    Except more barrel and bigger hints of coconut and vanilla. Body is pretty much identical. Along with the after taste.

    Not really hitting the spot. Just missing all the right notes for me.

    Unlike like this guy! Whose killing it on the trumpet :sunglasses:

    Distinctive light gold color with white cap and lacing.

    Mild scent of rich yet dryish malt with floral, spicy hops.

    Taste upfront is about equal hop sharpness with rich malt yet that same sense of dryness. Curious about that I looked up the website to find there is rye malt in the mix. Ah, that explains things, rich malt with a spicy rye kick. In this brew the combination works with the diverse grain flavors blending well together and just enough firm hop kick to keep things in balance. Simple flavors in harmony, clean all the way to the finish with a bit of hop firmness at the end that concludes things nicely.

    Medium texture with balancing carbonation.

    This is a solid stab at the classic Pilsner style. A somewhat unconventional approach in the grain bill that results in a beer that is more balanced than the approach some brewers take when they add American hops resulting in more of an IPL than a Pilsner.
