Part of the IPA arms race: a terrifying capacity for bitterness tempered by the fear of bland & flavourless beer: this is a combination of Cryo Citra, Amarillo, Cascade & Centennial hops: massive, oily & resinous hop hit enhanced by the caramelisation of

Terrific beer. Still good after a few months, more toffee and caramel than before. Ironically timed with the US election result and resulting implications for us all, especially Ukraine #beerjerknz

The biggest and baddest west coast IPA I’ve had for years. Reminds me of the Murray’s Icon 2IPA of yesteryear. What a beast.

Still love this one, hope to find more someday. It’s big, piney, bitter, and an aggressive style of IPA that’s very hard to find these days.

Bourkey is drinking The Arms Race by Small Gods at Untappd at Home

It's thick, piney, bold. Very reminiscent of Stone Brewing & Pliney the Elder. It's very bitter but it holds a deep deep character & is very well crafted. Gets better with some warmth & is a lot better at room temp
