Great mango and citrus on the nose. Tastes as clean as it looks. Goes well with Thai food, but could be nice as a summer supper as well.

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 allfreej (510) - Louisville, Kentucky, USA - APR 17, 2013
Bottled.
Slightly cloudy honey-colored pour with a fine white head. Decent amount of lacing.
Nose is caramel malt and citrusy hops. Candied grapefruit is what comes to mind.
Flavor is dominated by the hops. The dry finish from the rice really lets them shine. Almost like eating a grapefruit, down to the bitter aftertaste. There is enough of a caramel malt backbone to this one to keep things balanced though.
Medium full mouthfeel.
A very tasty DIPA. the alcohol is well hidden by the excellent balance of malty and hoppy goodness. I'm also pleased that Flying Fish is selling these as six packs. I get tired of brewers selling four packs of their higher gravity offering at ridiculous price points. I might be paying a little more for this one, biut at least I get six of them.

Bottle. Moderate malt and hop aromas of grain, grapefruit and lemon, light soap for the yeast, with hints of pineapple and white pepper. Head is small, fizzy/frothy, white, with fair lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is light yellow/amber. Palate is faintly sweet and moderately acidic, then finishes lightly acidic and bitter. Palate is on the lighter side of medium, slick with a lively carbonation and finishes lightly alcoholic. Nice DIPA aromas but a little flat on DIPA flavors. Still a really nice drinking beer with grapefruity hops
