Opened one after a long day on the mountain and the hop punch hit exactly like a Vermont winter—bold, piney, and unapologetically bitter. It's a double IPA that actually earns its name, and the fact it came out of a snowboard collaboration just makes sense.

That first pour smells like a whole pine forest got squeezed into the glass. The double IPA bitterness lingers just right on the tongue, and the fact that it was born from a snowboard crew's Vermont trip makes it even cooler. I've already bought another four-pack.

The hop punch is exactly what I look for in a Vermont-style double IPA, and this one nails it without being overly bitter. I grabbed a four-pack after a snowboard trip and it was the perfect apres-ski companion.
