Commercial Description:
At the height of the heat in the heart of the summer, we felt that the only cure was a raging mouthful of fresh hops and malt. Caution: May remove enamel from teeth. This is Lagunitas IPA pumped up by about 30%!

My current favorite. Perfect harmony between hops and malt. Beautiful nose - citrus and flowers. Quite bitter, but not overdone.

Pours a deep honey orange color with a semi thick frothy white head that laces the glass. Smells of hoppy citrus but also a bit flowery as well. The hoppy taste is not overly bitter it is more subdued, somewhat sweet. A bit more grassy on the taste than on the nose. Has the mouthfeel of a much higher ABV IPA like Dreadnaught or Stone 10th. Kind of thick, carbonation is a bit on the low side, more heavy sweet than bitter. This is a great session DiPA at 7.5% ABV not too high, not too low.

Amber color with a quality white head. Nice floral aroma, sweet flavor that complements the bitterness. Nicely balanced and pretty good overall.

Bottle. Pours a good golden amber, with an ok white head. Aroma, hop heavy and tending towards the floral side, with a bit of citrus to balance. Flavor is of good hops, heavy again on the floral with citrus to mellow it a bit. Medium body, light on the tongue, but full in the mouth. Good hop bitter finish. Great IPA.

Nothing special; A very strong India pale ale, both in flavor and in buzz-factor. Basically tastes like grapefruit juice and vodka. Release should be limited, contrary to "Unlimited Release" decree on bottle.

Pleasant surprise all-around here. Beautiful golden red color with a fast head. Sweet floral aroma of tart cherries, apple, orange. Sweet crisp greeting with some expected citrus, barely noticeable alcohol, and bitter but relatively clean aftertaste.

bottle....been in the fridge for a few months so it’s probably not at its freshest....poured a semi-transparent orange brown with a frothy white to off white head....floral and citrus notes in the nose combines with some malts but not too much....flavor of crisp citrus hops with a bitterness that lingers a bit in the finish but it’s not obtrusive in any way. not too much in the way of malts and overall it is quite dry.....way better than the Oddysey just tried and is a bargain DIIPA for the price.
