Coastal Evacuation

"Coastal Evacuation": a phrase common at the Jersey Shore. Hurricane season hits hard, and we're hitting back with a Double IPA able to withstand the storm. Copious amounts of Centennial hops dominate the flavor from start to finish. It's time to evacuate-are you prepared? It is a full-throttle Imperial I.P.A., brewed to accentuate the great aroma from the Centennial, Apollo, and Simcoe hops that dominate this beer, but keeping a great malt base intact that is sturdy but not sweet. Big on citrus hops, but with notes of apricot, mango, and a bit of a floral note, as well as pine needles and grapefruit, especially on the finish.  This beer goes down smoothly in a way that betrays its 8.0% abv and 80 IBUs.
