Jul 24, 2009 Draft at the brewery. Dark copper and lightly cloudy with some lasting bubbles. Aroma is wood, caramel, light grapefruit and alcohol. Flavors of caramel, resin, light grapefruit, plums and oak. Medium body is smooth and finishes dryish, but borders on stickiness. The lesser amount of hops in this one almost makes it seems like a barleywine.

Jul 20, 2009 Cloudy, grassy, crazy drinkable for a double. Lacks some of the cirtus zing that can be necessary in a dipa, so the finish has a bit more sweetness than preferred.

Jul 11, 2009 On tap at the mellow mushroom pours clear amber color with off white head. Aroma is sweet caramel and grapefruit. Mouthfeel is smooth. Flavor is upfront citrus or grapefruit and finishes semi-sweet from the caramel malts. This is a great beer. Its only downside is its sweet finish. I prefer a dry finish for this style. Still a solid brew.

Jun 18, 2009 Thanks kiefdog for sharing the growler. Very enjoyable IIPA. Pours a transparent amber with a white head. Nose is lots of caramel malt with a piney curtain over the peach and citrus notes. Flavor is very piney with big malt backbone. Overall a ton of malt and a balanced pine and citrus attack. Very enjoyable.

May 1, 2009 On tap at Tyler’s Taproom in Durham. Pours dark orange with a creamy white head. Aroma of pineapple, grapefruit, and fresh cut grass. Well balanced taste of pine and grapefruit with a malt sweetness. An excellent DIPA; I only wished they bottled this so that I could have it more often.

Mar 22, 2009 on tap at Tylers Taproom in Durham, NC on 3/21/09. massive hop bomb.... dark golden color with average white head... pleasant citrus hops on the nose... big body loaded with hops ranging from citrus to pine. Seeing Double IPA is a full force IIPA that isn’t afraid to throw the hops at you, however, it is not too overwhelming and is quite balanced considering.
