Lupulin Rapture Incarnate! Apparently, lupulin is extracted from hops and it makes you sleepy. I'm sure that the 8.5% abv has nothing to do with it. As fervent devotees of hops, we found ourselves on a quest to create a transcendental IPA capable of quenching our voracious lupulin desires. Our mantra became "unity of bitterness, hop flavor and aroma." Enlightened, duganA IPA was born: A brutally bitter, dank, piney and resinous ale designed for those seeking a divine hop experience.
How does it really taste? It's a decent double IPA. Nice floral, pine, and citrus aroma from the hops. It's a tad too bitter. Thanks to the high alcohol content, when you get half-way through your mug, you won't care.
Grade: B
