3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Aroma is fruity with hits on malt and hops. Amber/orange cloudy color with good lacing and medium tan head. Flavor is good but has somewhat of an odd aftertaste. Not a bad IPA just nothing special.

22 oz bomber: this ipa was a real nice surprise. deep golden color and a modest creamy white head. real nice hoppy aroma. tastes hoppy, with nice roasty malts. not a strong finish. but overall a real nice ipa.

Pours turbid amber with huge white head and lace. Aroma of hops, pine, citrus. Tastes hoppy, with malt, chardonnay, and citrus notes. Finishes hoppy, with a complex malt, pine, citrus, resin finish.

22 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy light orange, small white head, good lacing. Hoppy nose, very nice West Coast IPA. Not the monster the big brother is, more akin to a Stone IPA.

Nitrogen Tap at Barclays (hope it wasn’t the DUIPA). Opaque yellow/orange with creamy head. Very mild bitterness for an IPA, covered up by the creamy, richness of the beer. Not a bad beer, but just not must interesting about it.

Wow - this was orange juice all the way! Started off in the aroma along with hops and floral notes. Taste was juicy sweet (too sweet after awhile) oranges along with the bitterness of the peel. Nice, but could’ve been better balanced. (thanks Ernie!)

Bottle. Light hazy amber with a tall dense head that diminishes and leaves cream colored lace. Grapefruit stuck to a pine tree and splattered with honey.Thinner in feel than I expected. Malt lost early by the thin hops oils pulsing through the vains of this monster. Mild floral component. A touch too acidic for me. Dry woody and acidic hops finish. Takes a long time for malt to re-enter the picture. As a P.S. this does seem to warm up nicely. The sweetness does come back and help with the acidity, and thickens, but the acid is still very evident.

on cask@hopyard:
Thick apricot color with a misty orange core. Fruity mango aroma. When i tasted it i proclaimed, "Dude this is hella fruity"
Initial sweetness which subsides to a spicy grapfruit. I tried it next to the DUIPA, and there wasn't too much of a difference here. just some hops and smoothness. amazing beer.
