Hopicide Imperial IPA

Over 1 pound of hops... need I say more?  Sure, I'll say more. 

If you serve this beer to a Bud drinker, he or she will cry. If life were a 1950s horror flick, this beer would climb out of the fermenter and turn on its master. Your dentist does not want you to brew or drink this beer. Sorry in advance about your tooth enamel.

Thanks to Northern Brewer for this recipe!
