Bistro’s DIPA Fest, Hayward, CA. deeper copper color, another that just seems borderline IPA/IIPA. didnt seem like 8.5%, but my palate was probably already destroyed at this point. Nice bitter flavor, good malt backbone, light tea notes, liked it

This is one of the more solid beers that I tried at Jack’s in San Ramon. Malty, hoppy, stick, it’s a well done double IPA

Poured medium amber, very malty, caramel, piney and earthy hops, little nutty.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a dark orange amber with a light tan head. The nose and flavor are a bit too subtle, but not off in any way. Light citrus, caramel and pine with a medium full mouthfeel. Very clean, but I wish Will the brewer would push the envelope a bit, as it seems he has the talent to pull off some great beer, not just solid ones.

UPDATED: MAY 7, 2010 Wow after years of begging and the hiring of a new brewer Jack’s finally made a double IPA. I love their IPA and I knew their new their double would be good, and it is. In a nutshell it’s a bigger hoppier tastier version of their IPA. Deeeelicious!! On par with Pizza Port IPA’s A must try beer.....but it’s only on tap like all their beers. I had it again tonight 5-7-10 awesome beer! So tasty! Malty IPA! Get some!
