Above and beyond an India Pale Ale--I2PA is radically hopped with an intense aroma and hop bitterness. Unfiltered and aged for 9 months before it leaves the brewery--not for the faint of heart. I2PA is brewed with two-row Pipkin Pale malts, Saaz, Cascade and Northwest Golding hops. I2PA is available in a new 750ml Silkscreened black ceramic bottle and on draft.

"Draft at TJ’s poured into a snifter. Poured a cloudy, golden-orange with a sudsy, creamy one-finger head which settled to a coating. Lacing was abundant throughout. Nose was grapefruit, pine and some sweetness. Taste is definitely hop forward - citrus (orange, grapefruit, mango), some caramel malt and breadiness. Finish is nicely dry and moderately bitter. Mouthfeel is medium with good carbonation which produces a nice edginess. I would have no clue from drinking this of the ABV. I wouldn’t say this was a balanced IPA, but it is the kind I like and I thoroughly enjoyed this."

"Poured a hazy orange with a head that if you plink is gone. The nose is wonderful. Full of citrus and hops. But that is it, the taste fell flat. To much malt. Over the top alcohol taste. Will not be buying this IIPA again"

"Orangy bown cloudy beer with a white head that poured out thin with no retention, lots of blobby chunks. Smells thick! Honey, some grapefruit, citrus candy (fruit punch), something pungent (early), noticable malts. Interesting. It gets more soft and fruity along the way. The taste is a huge disappointment. Lacks flavour. Where is the flavour? I think the flavour is just crushed by the bitter mouth feel. The beer isn't over the top bitter but the hops are very strong. Some malts, but, once again, the bitterness flattens the malts. Slight grapefruit. Waaaay to much alcohol. Medium bodied, soft swish, drying qualities, permanent bitter aftertaste. I think this beer sucked and is obviously amazingly overpriced."

"pours a clear golden color with a fluffy white head, aromas are hoptastic. with a slight sweetness of butterscotch and alcohol smell. flavor is a sweet hop flavor with a punch of alcohol. bitter hop aftertaste. overall another fine ipa."

"this is a big and chewy imperial ipa...wish they didn't switch to ceramic bottles at $12 a pop. oh well. a little bitter, and less floral/aromatic than i like, but still a good beer. nice biscuity malty backbone. just not a good value."
