This guy is out of Scotland. They may take our lives, but they'll never take our strongly alcoholic IPAs.A rich auburn color with a thin white head.
A mellow aroma, featuring the floral-citrusy notes characteristic of Cascade, Simcoe, and Centennial, classic IPA hop strains.
The taste is a wild ride. The generous helpings of Maris Otter malt dominate the sip, offering loads of sweet toffee-like flavor. Yet an aggressive bitterness battles with this rich sweetness, thanks to the considerable amount of bittering hops they must have thrown in to balance a grain-bill sizable enough to yield the 9.2% ABV this brew boasts.
A dry yet surprisingly crisp finish, with a lingering sweet deliciousness.
A solid IPA that is indeed hardcore.
