What's on the Can: "Unpredictable varieties of hops used in nearly-criminal volumes to create a bold, citrusy Double India Pale Ale brewed to pay tribute to 'the world's worst superhero,' Florida Man."

What's on the Website: "DID YOU KNOW?
The world needs heroes, and in our home state of Florida only a very special hero will do. A hero with a shark tooth around his neck, a Grim Reaper tattoo on his arm, and a rap sheet longer than his mama’s mustache. A hero who's forgotten more about amateur taxidermy and alligator rasslin' than you’ll ever know. What better way to pay tribute to our beloved Florida Man than with a big ol' Double India Pale Ale brewed with a nearly criminal amount of hops and a moderate bitterness that just about matches Florida Man's general disposition. This hopped-up whopper of a beer is big in character and guaranteed to sear itself into your memory, just like 'the world's worst superhero,' Florida Man."
Hops: Citra, Azacca, El Dorado, Mandarina Bavarian.
Smell (25%): Blend of malty dank with bold citrus tropical. 4.5/5
Taste (40%): Malty dank citrus from start to finish. Bold tropical throughout the experience, getting mango and papaya on the back end. Aftertaste feels citrus pulpy. Lots of flavor here. 4.5/5
Mouthfeel (10%): Full bodied, some carbonation. Some dry tongue. 4.25/5
Overall (20%): An excellent to outstanding Double IPA. After my cousin's fiancee posted a picture of this beer, I knew I wanted to try it if possible. I didn't expect they would send me any, but I am lucky to try it. While Florida Man flexes its 8.5% ABV, it brings full-bodied flavor and is perfect for a typical tropical day. 4.25/5
Final Weighted Rating: 4.413/5
Where distributed: Cigar City Brewing distributes to select states. It is rarely found in the Pacific NW and does not ship to Hawaii.
