3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle batch 499. Hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is dominated by citrus with notes of pine, overripe fruits and alcohol. Soft and sweet mouthfeel. Taste is sweet with notes of caramel, nuts and citrus fruits. Heavy bitter finish.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle: Poured a cloudy and murky dirty beige color ale with a medium foamy head with limited retention and some light lacing. Aroma of earthy hops with light citrus notes are dominant though feels a bit flat. Taste is also dominated by tired earthy hops with limited floral or bitter characteristics. Body is full with medium carbonation. Too bad the brewer is ending out of IIPA across the pond as even fresh ones sometimes don’t travel all that well.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Beer #2 at BBF12. Lots of grapefruit. Very smooth. Some honey hints there? Very nice Double IPA.
