COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Lupulin Rapture Incarnate! As fervent devotees of hops, we found ourselves on a quest to create a transcendental IPA capable of quenching our voracious lupulin desires. Our mantra became “unity of bitterness, hop flavor and aroma.” Enlightened, duganA IPA was born: A brutally bitter, dank, piney and resinous ale designed for those seeking a divine hop experience.

Pours with an amber body topped by a thick head with a good amount of lacing. It’s slightly sweet yet bitter and hoppy with piney notes and a hint of mint. the aroma has a much more pronounced mint note. Full bodied, astringent and warming.

DrinkEmUpJones (539) - Georgia, USA - FEB 11, 2012
Aroma has a very earthy hop profile-pine resin and grain. Palate is really nice, with more of a dirty/earthy hop flavor and great balance.

Slightly hazy golden with visible carbonation. Egg-white head... looks good. Citrushop flavor, fuller hop palate. Nice. On tap at the Shep

kaser (105) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - FEB 11, 2012
I can’t figure out what exactly I didn’t like about this. Comparatively for an IPA that is. Dark draft pour at Fork. Medium head. Very hoppy musty fruity taste. Kind of a sweet choker. Dunno. Didn’t enjoy it for some reason

acearl (271) - EP, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 9, 2012
UPDATED: FEB 11, 2012 22 ozer, Orange golden clear hue with white foamy head, diminishing, fair lacing, sweet carmel and resin smell, on the thicker side, more sweet than anything else, some peach, nectar bouquet, bitterness is well balanced, note quite as bitter as advertised and alcohol is pretty well hidden, good one to split, re-rated: in retrospect better than initially reated

On tap at Champs. Gold with white head. Aroma is tropical fruit. Flavor is tropical fruit, mustiness and some caramel sweetness. Interesting but not my thing.

jtd6628 (280) - North Carolina, USA - FEB 8, 2012
Great beer. Aroma is amazingly strong hops. The taste is best described danky and resinous which is a really good thing the bitterness is medium high.

jw0406 (258) - atlanta, Georgia, USA - FEB 5, 2012
750 ml. pours a copper orange with a nice white head. Aromas of pine, resin, grapefruit, a big hop bomb. Nicely balanced with bitter hops but a nice malt backbone, a great beer

Beerman6686 (2384) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 31, 2012
This poured a semi cloudy bright oranage color with a beige head. Aroma was of herbala nd citrusy hops, and soem caramel and biscuit malt. Flavor was a bit of a disappointment, very sweet, with notes of fruit and bitterness, but way too much residual sugar to be top notch.
