What the brewer says

“The chuckling endless insanity of an appetite for utter disaster paves the path to unrelenting purity. Double dryhopped with Galaxy hops. All day.”

What our panel thought

Aroma: “Peach leather, strawberries, white peppercorn, pineapple, and orange. A complex ester blend on retronasal of the aforementioned plus a touch of caramel and white sugar.” Flavor: Interesting sugar profile of caramel and white sugar on top of the crazy tropical-fruit and spice blend. Notes of peach leather and strawberries with a strong pineapple component. Chewy as can be with a bit lower carbonation than the style is known for. The caramel comes out pretty strongly in the finish making it a bit weighty even for the ABV.” Overall: “Thick and juicy. Full-on pulp. Surprisingly drinkable for an 8% beer—a smooth and well-rounded thinking person’s beer.”
