SIZE 11 (Annual January 11th release) Triple IPA

This beastly Triple India Pale Ale is the biggest of siblings to Size 7. Aromas of ripe Tuscan melon, honey dew and citrus explode at first sniff. Built on the same back bone as Size 7, but doubled in all aspects. Malt sweetness up front, with a full mouthfeel, give way to ridiculously copious layering of hops. Wave after wave of citrus peel, grapefruit, honey dew melon and guava are pronounced from aroma, to flavor, to finishing bitterness.
