A smooth Double IPA it is an absolute classic clocking in at 8% ABV. The ale is named for the Roman scholar who first named the hop plant. The beer is made with 40% more malt and two times the amount of hops used in the Russian River IPA, a single IPA product from the same brewery. The cream factor that makes this beer smooth and incredibly drinkable is what separates this from other Double IPAs of its kind. A very subtle bite and overall taste with big, bright aromas and malty reinforcement.
