/> <strong>Country </strong>- United States<br
/> <strong>Type </strong>- American IPA</p><p><strong>Appearance </strong>- Pours a murky copper color with a small foamy white head.</p><p><strong>Smell </strong>- Has quite hoppy smells with pine and slight grapefruit.</p><p><strong>Taste </strong>- The name isn&#8217;t kidding.  Big on the hops and they are very earthy.  Pine and floral notes present and a ever so slight citrus taste that helps it not be to overboard.  The last few sips had an extra kick of alcohol to them.</p><p>A big hopped brew that really doesn&#8217;t go overboard with the hops but has just enough for a hop head to enjoy.  I think this is a good IPA and would recommend for those that are big on hops.</p><p><strong>Overall Grade</strong> &#8211; B-</p> <a
