Hitting the taps Saturday August 14th 2010 at high noon we have the extreme-hopped India Red Ale dubbed 'Kneecapper'. It's dank, earthy, roasty and resinous with a tremendous forward presence and some wee malt balls for balance. As the name implies, this could be painful for some however I perceive it more as a pallet-numbing hurt-so-good sort of feeling. I juiced the hops to bring out their full earthiness then heavily dry-hopped the batch with Columbus so be prepared for a pretty hefty smack of tannins on this one.
Enjoy.

Fuck the weak-ass pussies who'd find it painful: it's not gonna hurt the pros. I'll see it on Tuesday.
Yummy, but don't you think you're getting a little out of hand with the adjuncts on this one? What is that, some sort of UN-malted barley? Insane.
