2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle @ home. Clear amber color, short head. Aroma is medium hoppy, some sweet orange., quite malty as well. Very bitter, orange, almost medicinal. Very sweet for a DIPA, too sweet. Sticky palate. Below average DIPA.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Moderate malt and hop notes of roasted, caramel and orange, light dough for the yeast, with background notes of peach, date and honey. Head is average size, frothy, white with fair lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is hazy medium amber/orange. Flavor starts lightly sweet and lightly to moderately acidic, then finishes lightly acidic and moderately bitter. Palate is medium, oily with a lively carbonation. Nice aromas, just a little plain in the flavor, but overall a very nice drinking DIPA.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Dark orange colour. Bready alcohol aroma. Hoppy taste, grapefruit, sweet. Finishes with some bitterness
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 oz. bottle from Total Wine in Chesapeake, VA (the bottle lists this beer at 8.7% ABV). Pours dark orange with a frothy off-white head. Aroma of grapefruit rind, pineapple, and a touch of mango. The taste offers much of the same although with a hint of pine and some peach nectar on the finish. The flavor is certainly more fruity than piney and Earthy, however. Nice bitterness but it does not linger (that is neither good nor bad, just is what it is). A solid DIPA.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Aroma is piney and fruity hops, touch of bready caramel malt.
Flavour is medium hop bitterness, quite strong malt profile. Could be less imho. Still nice though.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Clear dark orange with a large beige head, nice lacings. Aroma medium malty (caramel), heavy hoppy (citrusy), some fusel alcohol smelled? Flavor medium to heavy sweet, spicy and bitter, long lasting, quite balanced. Full body, quite nice. There is something about the hops I don’t like.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Amber color with a huge frothy off-white head. Smell is grapefuit with some caramel sugars. Make that a lot of caramel. Taste is smooth and extremely well blended, lots of caramel malts fading to an easy hop bitterness.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pour is a light cloudy orange with a small white head. Nose is mostly of citric hops. Taste is similar to the nose with a bit of malt in the back and a little bit of a funk that I cannot quite describe.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Pours a clear orange gold, beautiful color... I would paint my walls this hue. Very heady, smells a little citrusy. Tastes great, very well rounded with good hide of the abv.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
A strange Double IPA but I loved it.
It gives you all the DIPA aromas.
At the beginning though, it has some caramel sweet taste, and immediately the bitterness from the hops comes back.
Very interesting beer.
