Style: DIPA

Tasting Notes: A solid grist provides the body required to support the massive additions of six different hop varities used in this beverage.  The hops bring forth a strong mix of floral, grapefruit and stone fruit flavors and aromas. Finally a dextrose and honey addition bump the ABV up but keep the body from getting too heavy.
