With passion and purpose, we present this series of hop-centric beers. Using different hop varieties and brewing techniques, we aim to capture bold, distinct hop characteristics in aroma, flavor and finish. While we explore the world of hops, we invite you to learn along with us: these beers offer an incredible opportunity to experience the diversity of hops while engaging the palate and obliterating the senses. Obliteration VI Double IPA is a study in Summit hops. Using Obliteration V’s base recipe, our brewers added only Summit hops in multiple doses to impart this hop varietal’s distinct citrus-tangerine character. The result is so completely wonderful you will almost forget about its obliterating qualities.

Bottle, home. I appreciate these single hop experiments as much as anyone and it’s particularly fun to taste a relatively new hop variety like Summit, but I’m going to need to replace the enamel on my teeth after this beer. Obliteration is an apt name for this hop tea masquerading as beer. It’s up there with Iron Springs Casey Jones and Hoppin’ Frog Mean Manalishi for top palate-wrecking DIPAs. The aroma is all Summit goodness - tangerine rind, grapefruit rind and just a hint of herbaceous onion/garlic. The flavor is dry and, well, hoppy. My taste score keeps crawling up as I go through the bottle and my palate slowly adapts to the onslaught. I have no doubt that Midnight Sun can make an excellent DIPA; this beer would probably get a very high score with a different hop bill. Plus, I appreciate the experimentation, so my rating here doesn’t quite reflect my full opinion of the beer and brewery, just my enjoyment of the flavor.
