Laguinitas Brewing Company's Hop Stoopid

I can't find a style category for this one after a very brief search online, but at 102 IBU's it can't be anything less than a DIPA.

Pours a clear and somewhat bright orangish amber. Huge head that almost gets in the way. Makes you think that it's throwing off too much of what would otherwise be in the taste. Good carbonation.

Strong grassy hops overpowers any malt smell, and it has an odd hint of dill pickles. This beer tastes like a combination of Bigfoot Barleywine and Indian Wells Orange Blossom Amber. The huge grassy hops are very similar to Bigfoot, and the odd twang and lack of real body remind me of Orange Blossom Amber.

All in all, this beer is a good example of how too much of something can throw a beer out of balance. Big hop presence, but no body to speak of. Certainly not one that a beer this hoppy should have. Think of a Budweiser Barleywine, and you'd have this beer.
