Lagunitas Hop Stoopid Double IPA

Another "donation"  from the Lagunitas Brewery via Master Mark , clocking in a 102 IBU's...yes, you read that correctly one hundred and two IBU's. Despite the higher bitterness quotient, I don't feel overwhelmed by bitterness. Maybe the 8% ABV is numbing my taste buds! I took a sniff before taking a sip and got a heavy grapefruit aroma. It poured a clear amber with a towering white head and the grapefruit carried over to the taste. Some pine there as well, but not really heavy... surprisingly smooth for an IPA, especially a double or imperial IPA. Move on from sipping to quaffing and...whoa...is that pineapple? I unreservedly recommend this to the hop fans out there.
