DankZilla

Dank-Hopped IPA | 7.7%

An IPA with the most dank hops: Chinook, Centennial and Simcoe – rolling together in a dank medley that will remind you of your old school stash.
Rye blazes forward with grassy and earthy notes that accentuate the hop character, while the honey malt brings the sweetness.

TASTING NOTES

👀 HOW’S IT LOOK?
Large, dense beige head. Dark gold verging on orange. Great lacing down the glass as the head slowly recedes. Not very clear at all.

👃 WHAT AM I SMELLING?
The hops are leaning earthy like a forest floor with a pleasant touch of cattiness. It is quite inviting, and balanced, there is no one thing dominating.

👅 HMMM, THAT TASTES LIKE…
This is a smooth ride all the way. There is a resinous hop profile over a light note of graham cracker from the malt. Solid malt backbone holding up lots of hop character. Hints of pine. Very easy to drink and inviting. Clean bitterness in the finish.

😋 THERE’S A PARTY IN MY MOUTH!
Smooth despite the firm carbonation. Carb is lifting those resinous hops right off the tongue. Finish is dry. Medium body.

🍻 TL;DR
Hangover be gone. Dank, resinous, and smooth.

-Matt Akin, Head Brewer

LABEL TEXT

It’s no coincidence that the aroma of some hops buds are reminiscent of marijuana, since they’re both in the Cannabaceae family. We plucked from the family tree some of the stickiest of the ickiest hops for this IPA: chinook, centennial and simcoe. This trio of buds roll together a dank medley like your old school stash. There’s a resinous smell of pine and just a touch of pithy grapefruit. Joining in the party next is rye and honey malt. The rye blazes forward with grassy and earthy notes that accentuate the hop character, while the honey malt brings the sweet. Pour this into a glass to appreciate all the aromas on your next sesh!
