Loading... Please wait...4 different Hops (Willamette, Amarillo, Cascade and Centennial) totaling 7 ounces (!!!).
Finished off with Fermentis Safale US-05 yeast.
This is a BIG West Coast style robust IPA. Well balanced, yet hop rich flavor and aroma.
This is a Big, Big beer....not for the faint at heart.

I have brewed this beautiful hop monster twice. Every time, it blows my mind on how much flavor is in it.
Like Dan said in his review, this beer keeps getting better and better as it ages. I can't keep my hands off it long enough to see how far out it would go, but every week was a worth while wait. Even in the young stages, it was DELICIOUS!
Kit had great instructions and was easy to make. Shouldnt give you headahces.
I would also say that it was a higher bitterness beer than Stone IPA and just a tad less hoppy than the Dogfish Head 90.
Worth every penny!

This was the 2nd home brew kit I attempted and the results blew me away. What an incredible beer!!! It's a hop monster so be prepared for the result.
The instructions were incredibly easy to follow and the all of the hops made it a joy to make. My wife accused me of being addicted to hops as I kept smelling them before adding to the brew.
I'm not sure how much I would recommend letting this beer condition in the bottle because it was awesome after a couple weeks and got better each week after that. A very complex flavor that kept changing for the better each and every day passed.
The kit is a bit pricey but the results were soooooooo worth it.
If you want to compare to a commercial, it was a bit north of a Stone IPA on the bitterness and a bit south of a Dogfish Head 90 on the hoppiness. Even at $50/kit, it was still cheaper than 2 cases of either of those and just as damn tasty.
