| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 10, 2009 Can: Dark copper, amber color with a nice light brown head. Super hoppy nose full of fresh hops, grapefruit and hot leather. It has a pleasant taste which starts out smoth and sweet but finishes off with robust hop bitterness. The body is thick and smooth and sticks around for a bit. Delightful. Thanks Indiana Red for hooking me up with a can. Acknud (772), Morganfield, Kentucky, USA

I’ve not had such a balanced dipa. The hops are present bit don’t overpower the malt. Very heavy on the tounge. Would not drink too many of these. TeamTrappist (378), jericho, New York, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 7, 2009 12 oz. can. Pours a hazy brownish-orange with a thin, off-white head. The head is very quick to fade. Big hop nose with notes of pine, citrus (particularly orange), and sweet malt. Medium carbonation with a medium, yet dry mouthfeel. Orange, pine, grass, alcohol, malt sweetness, and a bit of wood on the palate. The orange sweetness comes through first, then a bracing bitterness, followed by a dry finish. Medium finish with some lingering bitterness and a touch of orange. Overall I found it a wee bit understated for an DIPA, but that really made it all the more enjoyable. 6ROW (253), corpus christi, Texas, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jul 4, 2009 Clear copper pour with an off-white head, nice retention and lacing, lively carbonation. It has pine, citrus (mostly grapefruit) with a sweet malt aroma that I can’t quite put a finger on. Whatever it is it balances out the bitterness, and I expect that in the flavor as well. Has hop bitterness up front that slowly fades to a mildly grainy sweetness in the middle and a dry resiny finish. Moderately low carbonation, medium body, just a touch of alcohol warmth in the finish, but not solventy at all. Nicely done on this one, the Amarillo dry-hop does a beer good. Gimme this and Ten Fidy, please.
