From Grand Rapids, MI
Stats: 6.1% Alcohol By Volume(ABV),
70 International Bittering Units(IBU)
Appearance: Golden yellow hue with an off-white that recedes quickly leaving some lacing.
Nose: Hops. Aggressively pungent hops. Citrus fruit city. Grapefruit and resinous pine, cut grass, hint of lychee. Bit of pepper.
Body: Initially creamy becoming a bit thin. Minimal carbonation.
Taste: The nose leads you to believe the beer will be a hop bomb, exploding and lingering until every taste bud scorched under the heat of wet hopped goodness. This is not the case. The beer is very balanced—a plus—with the hops touching down with a caramel sweetness followed by the aforementioned grapefruit taking charge before spicy-bitterness dawdles down the throat.
Score: A: 8.5, N: 9, B: 8.7 T: 9
Overall 8.8/10
Comment: I've met some people who love hops more than Jesus and this beer gives them a decent reason. Truly lush and complex. A limited amount was produced and a very limited amount made it to Chicago. Hurry.
