Lagunitas Maximus Colossal Double IPA Tasting


FROM THE BREWERY WEBSITE:
The Lagunitas website has a lot to say about Maximus Colossal Double IPA…
MAXIMUS
COLOSSAL DOUBLE IPA
Maximus is our Colossal take on a Double IPA. 9% ABV. Full of Simcoe and Cascade hops balanced against tons of rich malted barley—a bed of smooth malted wheat, biscuity Munich malt, and English Crystal. Maximus' massive dry-hop bill entertains with spice, floral, and berry notes … For the hop heads!
STYLE
There is a tide in the affairs of big, "Double" IPAs, which posits that a flood of hops leads to a fortune in liquid. In our XXV+ years of brewing big IPAs, we've learned this to be mostly true, with one big caveat: balance is everything. We believe Maximus to be precisely that. Et tu?
Maximus Colossal IPA is a hoppy balance of spice, floral, and berry notes from the massive dry-hop bill on a bed of smooth malted wheat, biscuity Munich malt, and English Crystal for a burnt-sugary snap.
9% ABV
Beer math on ABV is pretty straightforward. The higher the ABV, the more alcohol in the beer. See, no rocket science is necessary.
60 IBU
Generally speaking, a high-IBU beer will taste more bitter than a lower-IBU beer.
OG 1.084
The OG measures solids in the wort before fermentation to consistently arrive at the same alcohol content of beer. Pretty neat, huh?
FLORAL
A significant component of hop aroma is geraniol, a primary player in the aroma of geraniums. This compound comes through, complementing the other hop flavors perfectly.
CITRUS
Like our IPA, "C" hops provide a full range of citrus flavors, from orange juice to grapefruit rind.
FRUITY
The elevated levels of hops and alcohol in this beer allow more flavors to shine through, bringing notes of dark berries and nectarines to play off the floral and citrus notes.
