Bottle text & Info:
An imperial IPA that was brewed to turn your world upside down. Hops have got you coming and going. Pungent aromatics up front paired with a malt balanced backbone and a smooth bitter finish. 


Tasting Notes:
Pours - golden to orange with a small white head.  A legion of huge bubbles rising singly from the depths.  Smells like hop oils. Pine, grapefruit, orange peel, sweet malts - in that order. A high alcohol version of my most favorite beer; Founders Harvest Ale.  Short blasts of cirtus in succession with pine tied together by a sweet malt backing. yum. It's no, hopslam but i still pee a little everytime this comes in off the loading dock.
