What do dynamite, base jumping, and surfing in a volcano all have in common? They all pale in comparison to the 17.2% ABV nuclear hop fire of Evil Twin Brewing’s Molotov Heavy Imperial IPA.

Drenched in gasoline-soaked booziness within a 100 IBU bitter firespout of sticky-icky hops, Molotov Heavy isn’t for the faint of heart or even strong of will. It’s a palate crushing feat of endurance that pushes hoppiness to to its neck breaking limits -- but those brave 10,756 souls on Untappd who’ve survived its intensity reward it with a 4.03 score.

Even if you briefly inhale Molotov Heavy’s pungent fumes, better call an Uber. Lurking within its deep amber hued pour, this IPA’s strangles the atmosphere with candied pine needles poached in 100-proof vodka. Taste if you dare, and you’re smashed awake with caramelized grapefruits permeated to the core with furious resin. The finish devastates with bitterness and booze, whiplashing your senses for minutes to come. 

With some Untappd reviews calling Molotov Heavy “easy to drink rocket fuel” or simply “whoa,” this can of hoppy whoopass will put you on the floor before you finish your glass. You’ve been warned -- it’s called a molotov cocktail for a reason. Hold onto your butts.
