3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20Trying it for the first time in about 18 months, I’m reminded how much of a barn burner this thing is! I’ve tried a few other 10% ales recently, none give off the vapors that this thing puts forth.
I didn’t remember the wonderful clean lemoney white grapey nose from before-- all I remembered were the lemons (this stuff is so acidic I take antacids with it. . . but who cares it’s totally worth it).
Pretty tame carbonation and a less sticky mouth feel than you might expect-- the lemons really give it a clean, tart sweetness.
Drinking it on a cold december night reminds it tasted pretty good on a very hot day as well.
Definitely worth keeping a few around for a special occasion-- I cellared one more from this batch, and will be really interested to see what a few years in the cellar does for something with this much fruit and gravity.

One of the most interesting double IPA I have had in a while. Don’t need to say much more than, a must try for IPA lovers!
4.8 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Uma cerveja única, comprada em Nova York e bebida no Rio de Janeiro. Difícil descrevê-la por realmente ser uma cerveja fora do eixo.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bomber from Crown Wine & Spirits in Port St. Lucie West. Pours a coppery-orange with a spongey white head leaving nice lacing. Aroma has sweet pine and a lot of citrus, and sweet pine. Centennial heaven! Taste is of an alcoholly grapefruit and pine combination. Sticky and quite bitter. Then underneath a representative malt backbone. More than medium bodied. Finishes dry and on the bitter - over dry hopped side - of bittersweet. DFH has gotten away from the bad tasting Delaware water of late? Their ipas and double ipas have not had that strange flavor. A solid one which really emphasizes the centennial hop!

This is a great beer. Not much aroma upfront, but fantastic malty backbone with an elegantly delicate lemon aroma midway through the finish. Bitterness throughout the sip. Floral notes of the centennial hops don't come through, not sure how aromatic they are to begin with, but it's a shame, it could use some upfront complexity.

Awesome IPA. Nice white foam. Smells fruity and earthy. Bold flavor of hops and a little grassy. All around good beer.

Fruity taste. Doesn't seem like it should have the ABV it does. Had at dark lord day. Orange thick cloudy pour. Very good. Different ipa
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours amber-copper with a frothy off-white head. Nose is standard IPA, with lots of bitter, floral hops and apple-leaning fruit. Flavor is less bitter and bigger malted than expected, though not bad at all; bread quality is high for an IPA. Finish is long and bittersweet and almost dough-ey. A good DIPA, but doesn’t really stand out from the overladen crowds.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a hazy orange/copper into the glass with an off white head. Aromas of citrus and floral hops. The lemon character is really well incorporated into this beer too, it helps to enhance the citrus hop character. Big hop flavor on the palate with a pleasant bitter finish and just a touch of lemon. Great brew, really complex.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
1 Pint 9.4 Fl. Oz. Bottle. Poured hazy orange, with a nice foamy off white head and lots of lacing. Aroma: Fruity, caramel malts, some citrus notes. Taste nice and bitter, hoppy very citrusy well balanced, you can’t tell it has that high of an ABV. Very nice...!!!
