Maharaja IPA
Tangy, citrusy hops with a dank edge sit on an intense malt essence in this dark amber imperial IPA, backed by caramel and toffee malts. The name blends the Sanskrit mahat, "great", and rajan, "king". Columbus, Simcoe, Centennial and Chinook go into the hop bill, Idaho 7, Vic Secret and Simcoe into the dry hop, and the result weighs in at 10% ABV.
