From the brewer

Hop Henge Experimental IPA is our annual exercise in IBU escalation. An outrageous amount of Centennial and Cascade hops are added to each barrel, with a heavy dry-hop presence as well. It is dense and muscular, with a blend of crystal, pale and carastan malts creating an overall biscuity characteristic. It’s all hop, no apologies.

Who's been drinking this

This was just too bitter and I wasn't ready to do any more of that tonight. I'll have to try and give it a fair shake later.
2013/2014 release
A fresh tasting, hop-fragrant IPA with an unusual, bitter, cucumber-like after-aftertaste. I can't say I loved it, but it was unusual in a way that intrigued me.

I like bitter beers, super hoppy beers, and really resinous beers. This was all of those things taken a little bit too far. It had a really bitter finish and was over-the-top on the palate. I'd probably have it again, but I'm pretty far down the hop-lover scale.
