I did the HBC IPA earlier in the year - was very impressed - entered it into the nationals -  it scored around 37 - very respectable.

I got the freebie  - brewed it along with another 3 all grain batches in the past month. Have been drinking it the past week or two

Its got great body - like some of the Sierra Nevada IPAs. Its not a bad beer at all but I've become too used to massively dry hopped recipes now. Its lacking in aroma for my taste, but is a good representation of the style.

They have it listed as 6.2% / 40 pints. Im guessing people just reduce the batch size to make an actual DIPA?

Have to admit this is growing on me. The Bruphoria bag doesnt smell nearly as strong as three ounces of pellets (or the 6 I used in my past DIPA) when its in secondary, but as its matured the aroma/ bitterness has settled beautifully.

I'd buy this one again be very happy paying for this
