3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/2012 oz bottle shared by Someister- thanks! Nice, big DIPA- pine, fruit medley, a bit of honey & malt. Mostly bitter, though, which is a nice surprise at 86 IBU’s.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
A beer that doesn’t disappoint. In fact it surprises. Comes off mostly Blevins in beginning with strong florals, banana and clove. Pours golden blond with ok head and decent lacing. Finishes with light sweetness. Slick texture. Tap at Coles.
3.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Aroma: citrus. Appearance: deep gold, thin but lasting head, good lacing. Taste: they aren’t kidding when they say it tastes like hops. Palate: full in the mouth, long dry finish. Overall: looks great but the taste is a little too hoppy for me.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 9/20
Citrus combined with tropical fruit notes greet the nose. An orangish-yellow pour with a white ring ant no lacing. The taste is bitter, however, some balancing sweetness is present. Grapefruit and sweet tropical fruit come together with a nice bitter finish to make this a pleasing brew. Medium body with crisp carbonation. Somewhat of an oily mouthfeel. Very nice. Overall, a very drinkable DIPA.
4.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Well balanced for double IPA . Very drinkable considering the high alcohol content. I buy it whenever it is available.
4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Nice golden pour with large white head and perfect lacing down the glass. Aroma of grapefruit and lemon. Taste amazing great malt background and nice citrus hops. It has a very good bittering hop but not to bitter. Overall a great example of a 2x ipa I could drink everytime I’m out.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Clear golden, small wispy white head. Delicious aroma, hoppy, fruity, citrus, grapefruit, pine sweet, light caramel - very inviting. Full body with quite impactful mouth feel. Bigtime hops on the palate and very bitter but not harsh finish. good beer held back a bit, could use a little more balance
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Aroma is mainly hops and citrus. Maybe a little earlthy, floral, and grapefruit in the background.
Tastes very hoppy and graprefuity. Smooth yet hoppy. Not too bitter of a finish.
4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Juicy body. Not an overpowering hop but a perfect hop balance from start to finish
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 9/20
bottle courtesy of umich03jm. not a big fan; just a hop bomb to me. aroma was alcohol and slight fruit. taste wasn’t balanced; hops started early and ended overly bitter with grapefruit and alcohol - this is why I don’t understand ipa’s?
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Very impressed with this DIPA from Founders. Extremely flavorful without being too sweet or overwhelmingly hopped, has a nice spicy bite on the finish that is juicy and floral. Try it!
