Hoppy up front, sweet finish. Citrus aroma.

Really good love IPAs this one is just barely different enough to stand out but not too much that it overwhelms the ipa

Obviously hoppy but not a strong bitter taste

The IIPA against which all other IIPAs should be measured. February cannot come soon enough, and most of the beers I drink in interim only make me realize how much I am missing.

My all-time favorite beer. IPA lover's dream - you'll be stocking and hoarding these once a year like I do. Perfect balance of face-slapping hop flavor mixed with the sweetness of the honey. Genius!

Similar feelings as with the Harpoon Leviathan. My pub only got one keg of this a year, so it's much more majestic in my mind. When it comes in, I drop everything to go get hopslammed.

Massively aromatic with some raw honey and floral perfume that nearly intoxicates on the spot. Some caramel too. The taste? It sneaks up on you. It's light at first, opens up to some sweet honey, toffee candy, alcohol, and then come the hops. It begins with some hemp oil, little bit of ruby grapefruit, white pepper, and then intensifies as it coats the palate with a slickish consistency. Chewy. Fruity esters in the middle. That said, overhyped. There are too many great 2x IPA'S out there that are half the price.

Very good unique beer about 6yrs ago but copy cats are more readily available. Eventhough head of this class, not worth the effort and money to obtain some
