According to Mayan and Hopi calendars the "transition from one world age to another'' will happen on December 21, 2012. As an homage to the "transition" DC Brau has concocted an Imperial IPA named "On the Wings of Armageddon"(OTWOA). OTWOA is a single hop blend* beer utilizing Falconers Flight™. Brewed with just enough Pale malt, Cara-60, CaraPils and Malted wheat to carry the intense hop character onto the pallet. At first glance, it has an orange hue in the glass with a viscus, rocky head that refuses to dissipate. Upon first sniff there are dominate aromas of citrus, white grapes and grapefruit with light bread and biscut notes. After the first sip we taste a mellow bitterness that only grows as more is consumed. Moderately carbonated, deceptively smooth, refreshingly dry and extremely heady for a beer at 9.2% ABV. OTWOA exhibits all the necessary traits to be revered as a world class Imperial IPA.

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9
Poured up on tap at GABF 2012 with a nice clear gold body that supports a quarter inch tan head of foam. The aroma offers up sort of Cascade like hops that comes across as a little bit citrus, a little bit earthy, a little bit spicy and then just a water thin wedge of malt sweetness. Yes! The taste is pleasing rich and deep and bitter with delicious hops (making my hop head very happy). I get a mix that is grapefruit to spicy to slightly floral hoppiness. It just delivers a nice degree of bitterness from front to back with some flavor hops thrown in there for good measure. Really nice sessionable middle of the road IPA and not pushing any limits. I’m not sure what makes this a IIPA. Man if this is really 9+% ABV this is trouble brother. I could drink a metric ton of this. Wow! They should call this “cab ride” cause if you tie into a few of these you’ll be very happy but sloshed. Nice one!

Amarillo version. Pours clear amber with a thick and persistent parchment head. Aroma yields zesty resiny hops, tangy orange with grapefruit on the side, crisp raw malt. Flavor presents rich piney hops, crisp raw malt, zesty orange, grapefruit, a sweet tropical hint. Texture delivers lively fizz and good smooth body. Armageddon to like this brewery.

Coming from a woman who loves her beer dark, I have made it a mission in 2013 to taste and appreciate the other beer styles. Why not develop a taste for "hoppy" with OTWOA! I enjoyed this draft beer at one of DC's friendly neighborhood NW bars and really took to it. The best was the color! Beautiful! I'll submit a picture soon so you can see for yourself. Truly "hoppy" (Double IPA) but so smooth going down. Love the DC Brau story so I love this beer! Lots of citrus aroma and taste. And, got to love the story of this beer: From the DC Brau website: According to Mayan and Hopi calendars the "transition from one world age to another'' will happen on December 21, 2012. "As an homage to the 'transition' DC Brau has concocted an Imperial IPA named 'On the Wings of Armageddon'." So yes, Mel transitioned from Porter/Stout to IPA in a heartbeat. Imperial it is! Enjoy!
