Mad River Brewing Co. - Steelhead Double IPA

During a vist back to my homeland of Lakeland, Florida, I was yearning the hop taste i love, but had a very hard time finding a local bar that served anything other than wanted down bland commercial brews.  Lukily I stumbled upon a new beer and wine store that had a large selection of Craft Brewers.  To quinche my need for a hoppy beer, I decided to give Steelhead Double IPA a shot from the Mad River Brewing Co.  After pouring the beer, the smell was very strong almost pungent and overwelmingly filled with hops.  The beer looked very amber brown with lots of cloudiness.  The taste was very bitter and any malt presence was covered up by hops finished with a raisin/citrus taste.  The beer definately packed a punch with an IBU of 85 and ABV of 8.6%.  I think three or four of these would put anyone on the floor and tasting hops for days.  This beer definalte filled my hop craving and I would recommend this beer to the hardcore IPA lovers with a liking for a high content of alcohol.
