Hop Heads unite!This is the beer you crave. What a liquid ode to the glorious wonder that is the hop. There are plenty of wonderful double IPAs out there, but when it comes to going off the IBU (international bittering units) charts, this beer goes even beyond that. If I'm not mistaken, I believe the brewers at Moylan's even filter this bad boy with a siphon lined with hops!
The beer poured a very lovely burnt orange/amber color with a moderate sized head and lots of lacing. The aroma gives off nothing but floral hops with just a little bit of alcohol. The first sip is quite a punch in the mouth. I'm overwhelmed with piney hops and slight notes of citrus. This is a big beer with a syrupy kind of feel in the mouth. About 30 seconds after my third sip, I actually shuttered a little bit because there is such a long, bitter finish to this beer.
For any drinkers out there looking to get introduced to the world of IPAs, this is certainly not the beer for you. This beer will take you more off-guard than Mike Cooper was by Carl Monday. But for those hop fiends out there looking for that one beer that has a first sip reaction of,"shit", this is the beer for you. This bodaciously bitter beer may even make your existence in this world seem a little more sweet.
