Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Lyons, Colorado USA

Serve in Snifter, Tulip

Can at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Pours amber with a small white head. Smells hoppy. Tastes creamy hoppy and abit sweet with a sweet hoppy finish.

A: Copper-amber body.. clear with nice bubbles and a robust off-white head ... nice lacing S: Floral, grassy hops up front... slight malt presence.. ever so subtle alcohol T: Much like the nose.. nice malt backbone.. caramel-ish... floral, green, lemon bitterness.. nice if not a little mild M: A tad thin... crisp, refreshing finish O: Good... can is a plus!

Beaucoup d’astringence extrêmement bien balancé avec le profil robuste du malt. L’amertume plutôt florale, sapiné est aigu et persistante. Elle enrobe bien le palais. Buvabilité moyenne, parfait pour déguster en mangeant.

Pours a deep amber orange color with soapy white foam head. Aroma of dark fruit, caramel, and citrus. A super malty, dark fruit, sweet ale, with a big hop layer. It is classified as a DIPA, but it borders on a hopped red. And for my money Cigar City’s Tocobaga wins out over this. But still this is a solid brew.

Pour is tarnished copper with nice lacy white head. Smell is floral hoppy and slightly resiny. Taste is citrus pine floral. Good beer.

What an awesome lil’ IPA! This one poured up a dark copper-colored body sporting a thin foamy head with good retention and wicked lacing. Aromas of lots of hops, citrusy fruits, and a hint of sweet roasted malts. The flavor was not as hoppy as I was anticipating but still a good dose to make this malt-head pucker up just a tad on those first few sips! It’s hoppy all the way through until the finish and then those sweet malts sneak in and balance everything up. Medium bodied and loaded with carbonation with a dry, refreshing hoppy finish and aftertaste. Pair this one up with something spicy!!

Thick gravity; almost like pouring syrup. Watching the head form and noticing the carbonation has incredible hang-time; it’s suspended in the middle of the glass for so long before it settles at the bottom of the head...friggin’ awesome... Smells piney, almost metallic (not from the can, just metallic in essence), touch of booze, pine-pitch maltiness and some buttery caramel hidden in there too. Taste is sweet and thick and resinous and sticky and hoppy as hell. It’s fantastic to have such contrasting flavors going on at the same time. Heavy mouthfeel, sticky on the lips, and smooth drinking. This beer has gravity; total sleepytime beer. I passed out 2/3 through my 3rd can, woke to find the remaining 3rd and drink it warm, which was litterally like drinking candy. when it warms, it turns into hop-syrup. I love it so much.

BIG, bold, red, hoppy.. From the first pour to the last drop G’night always makes me happy! This one’s a keeper..
