NOTHING ANCIENT ABOUT THIS BREW bottle-500bc Limited release “I’m super proud of this beer. Hope you like it!” -Matt Brynildson, Brewmaster All of the wonderful hop-driven flavors of Nectar IPA turned up to create a classic DIPA. Big herbal resinous hop flavor with balancing stone fruit notes, round malt middle and assertive hop bitterness in the finish. This double IPA does everything twice. Double the hops, double the ABV = one heck of a brew. Named for the California coastal redwoods, one of the oldest and tallest living species in America, we think this big brew does these imperial giants justice. Keeping the Peace: 10 cents from every bottle sold will be donated to redwood preservation efforts. Hungry? 500 BC goes great with Ricotta cheesecake with ginger crust and salted caramel sauce. Are you drooling yet?

Pours a clear dark amber with a fairly thick but effervescent buff head. Aroma is more fruity than hoppy, a bit sweet but still inviting. Flavor puts hops ahead of pear and peach fruity tone; hops balances wood and resin tones, and is slightly bitter, though not as bold as some IPAs - let along double IPAs - I have had the pleasure to down. Smooth texture is fairly fizzy and fairly smooth. Fair to middlin’, but a nice liquid tree-t.

A deep orange-amber colored beer with a big fluffy textured beige tinted white head rising above. There's excellent hang time on the head. Settles into thick film and thinner ringlet. Hoppy, tropical fruit nose. Same profile in the tasting with some sweet malt. Nicely balanced hop bitterness-sweet malt-fruitiness. Medium bodied, creamy slickness.
