- Tasting Notes
- Light body, extremely hoppy, but deceptively deadly with over 8% ABV.

This is one of the best beers I've ever tasted, let alone homebrewed. It is extremely light bodied, crisp, and the hop aroma flavor/aroma is ridiculously delicious. If you don't like malty imperial IPAs, this beer is for you. There is a slight fusel alcohol taste - to be expected with this ABV - but that will go away with aging.
