4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20Pours hazy copper with small tan head. Aroma is citrus, resin and caramel. Taste is malty sweetness with slight bitter finish. The caramelreally comes through and cuts the bitters. Very dry finish. One of the most complex and satisfying IIPA’s I’ve had.

Typical Great Divide. Piney. But in an awesome way. Pours a deep cloudy amber with small white cap. Aroma of pine and maple. Definitely tasting sappy pine flavor with floral undertones and notes of hoppy goodness.

A wonderfully beautiful pale, just lacking a little head, but with plenty of cling.
Tawny in color with a fragrant aroma. Hop varieties are floral and grassy and pungent, just the way I like it. Subtle malts are perfect for the smooth palate here.
Hercules indeed.

3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Hazy amber pour with an off white head. Heavy hoppiness balanced with heavy malt; hops not overwhelming. Pungent cheese taste more prevalent than citrus IMO. Strong bitter finish, but goes down relatively smooth. Nice bang at 10% abv. I would get this again.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from BRGR in Cranberry, PA. My first Great Divide experience, and it didn't blow me away, but good enough to bring me to try their other notable brews. Good flavor, but nothing that set it apart from other IIPAs.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle (12 oz). Thanks to Tom! Copper with a small off-white head and good lacing. Aroma is malty with resinous notes, slight citrus and perceptible alcohol. Taste is moderately to heavily sweet with malt, resinous notes, slight citrus and moderate to heavy bitterness. Medium to full body. Dry. This one is another of those malty and not too complex DIPA. Quite hard to drink. The base is excellent, but the Titan is better. DIPA shouldn’t go too much over 8% abv.

Bouteille 355 ml. Partagée par Tom10101, merci Tommy! Robe cuivrée translucide, surmontée d’un bon collet blanc. Arôme: malt, caramel, houblon terreux, alcool; bon bouquet. Goût: malt, alcool, agrumes, houblon. Sucré,, rappelle les produits de l’érable. Modérément ronde. Plutôt lourde. Rappelle presque une Doppel Bock.

trevlig dubbel ipa. Fyllig bra beska saknar dock finnes och fruktighet för att bli en av de bättre.

A - Pours a hazy copper amber. A small billowy white head that creates 3 round mounds and stays throughout. Very nice lacing patterns.
S - Grapefruit, sugar candied bready caramel, mango fruit and rind. Has a green hop bitterness to it. An orange peel resin sticks to the tongue and adds huge hop flavor. The malt has a dense doughy character but not too heavy. Finishes with a long green pine and moderately bitter.
M - Medium to full bodied, medium carbonation, slick.
A full 3 C hop profile backed by an excellent sweet doughy malt. Plenty bitter and full flavored. Well done.

Oct. 29 bottle. A bit old right now. Stale bitter hops. Wish this was easier to find fresh, it just sits everywhere.
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
From tap. Pours a deep amber with small head. Aroma is warm with sweet caramel, pine and citrus hops. Taste follows with plenty of sweetness that balances out with bitterness and it hides the ABV. Nice.
