4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20 jbeahler (34) - USA - NOV 30, 2012750ml bottle fresh from the brewery. Bottled like 8 days before this review. Pour is amazing. Clear amber with a nice fluffy off white head that receeds quick. It’s so awesome like super fresh hops and taking a bite of a lemon. Nice caramely malt presence, and fresh ass hops again. Can’t stress the freshness enough , the lemon adds a lot. Thick mouthfeel, juicy. I love it, everything I expect from a double IPA plus a nice lemon crispy-ness. It’s absolutely fantastic, if you can get it fresh I totally recommend it.

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 AWISLguy (668) - Wisconsin, USA - MAY 7, 2013
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

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.

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.
