4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
On tap at Beer Revolution.
Aroma has moderate hop character. Tropical fruit balanced with citrus, grapefruit and pine resin. Light cracker malt character. Low fruit esters.
Pour is a only slightly golden color with just a hint of amber. White head with very little head retention.
Flavor is almost all hops but just a bit of light cracker an biscuit. Lots of grapefruit and pine resin with secondary citrus and tropical fruit notes. Assertive bitterness with a touch of alcohol flavor.
Mouthfeel is dry and medium bodied with medium light carbonation. Low alcohol warmth. Only faint hop astringency.
Overall this is a really nice west coast IPA. Finishes nice and dry with a balanced amount of fruit and resin hops.

Tap @ The BeerMongers... Poured hazy, golden yellow/orange with a thick, fizzy, white head. Nice retention. Crazy amount of hoppiness here. Quite bitter two. Viscous mouthfeel and dry toward the finish. Pine and citrus notes coming from the hops. A classes west coast IIPA taste to it.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at Pizzeria Paradiso in Old Town Alexandria. Nose has quite a bit of citrus and some mild tropical fruit. The flavor is slightly boozy, but overall quite nice. Hefty bitterness on a medium body. A touch of residual sweetness. I prefer Racer 5.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at Hops and Pie. Orange-yellow color, soapy head. Strong aroma of hops, citrus, pine, touch of malt. Flavor was more citrus hops with a decent malt backbone. I’m not sure if this is an amped up Racer 5 but it was a pretty good DIPA. I’d definitely order this again.
