Bottle courtesy of mgumby10. Pours copper with a thin white head. Smells of citrus, some pine, hints of dough, grass. Tastes bitter and citrussy with a touch of spiciness on the finish. Great brew!

Bottle… Clear, light golden ale with a small, frothy, white head. Tropical and citrus fruit aroma. Medium-bodied and lightly creamy with relaxed carbonation. Fruity flavor with tannic bitterness. Toffee sweetness and grapefruit pith bitterness finish things off. Thanks go out to mgumby10 for the brew!

Courtesy Odeed. Pours a clear light orange color, with a small white head. Smells of some big grapefruit hops, very piney, with a crispness about it. The flavor was also very crisp and sharp, with a big hop character and a nice hop bitterness to it. Prety juicy grapefruit citrus was also quite evident. Nice and crisp IPA, full flavored with a great palate. Another quality brew from a quality brewer.

On Tap. Pours with a light, rocky, off-white head covering a clear amber body. Great lacing from the tap left on my glass, decent retention aswell. Aroma is of floral and slightly spicey hops, and a light bit of caramel. Taste is a bit watery at first, then a light caramel and biscut malt, followed by a pine hoppy bitterness towards the finish. Watery mouthfeel, light carbonation.

12oz bottle. Golden red color, with a thin film of white head. Pine, candied citrus hop aromatics, some sweetness. Acrid, keening pine up front. Juicy citrus, lemon and orange. Slight malt underpinings, tinge of biscuit. Grassy floral component joins resdiual citrus hop flavors in the finish. Mouthfeel is a light medium, somewhat dry.

I was amazed by this, as I think Double Barrel is overrated, this was amazing. GREAT hop taste dominates everything, even some of that illusive bubblegum flavor (Like in Full Sail’s Slipknot, I wish I could get some more of that too). Really pleased, and surprised by how good it was.
