3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at Otto’s on our way to RBSG. Pours a ruby hued orange gold with a medium sized white to beige head. Big citrus and pine, hop candy, and caramel. Huge juicy earthy hops, dripping and pungent. Smooth warming alcohol. Slow soft grapefruit. A little boozy, but very tasty. Big slow grapefruit and quinine on the finish.

This poured a bright medium orange color with an off white head. Aroma was a decent amount of citrusy hops, light fruits, and caramel malts too. Flavor was sweet sticky malt, very bitter hops but not much hop flavor and a strange salty taste too. A bit disappointing.

From bman. Amber, mostly transparent, thin off white frothiness. Nose is burnt sugar forward with a background of spicy hops. Chalky almost powdery hop bitterness dominates this thing...but ill take that over the burnt sugar I was expecting from this east coast iipa. Nice bitterness from the east coast..nice spiciness from them hops as well...nice warming alcohol too

12oz bottle. Purchased while travelling. One of my favorite styles of beer though this one didn’t quite stack up to some of the better ones in this category. Still quite tasty though.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
A nice, highly hopped double IPA. Appearance/palate thin for a double IPA. Alcohol presence is a bit over-the-top, but it is a double IPA, so what do I expect? There are other IPA competitors out there who can top this for flavor, but if I had it on a deserted island I would not turn away from the Double D (or maybe 2 for balance).

20100515 Sampled at PilsnerPeter’s 2nd Annual Spring Gathering. Shortbread and citrus, pretty sweet stuff, sticky palate, thick. Sweetness a bit much for me even among the many big stouts of the day. Tropical and citrus hops linger. Coating.

Poured into a pint glass it produced a finger worth of white head that lasted.
The body of the brew was a cloudy burned orange in color.
The aroma was a little sweet for a DIPA the malts were a little dominant. The hops did show up in there as well but a little subdued for the style. The flavor is following the nose starting off sweet and finishing dry with hop bitterness. It had a medium feel to it in my mouth and good carbonation.
Not a bad DIPA but not my favorite. I did finish the bomber by myself with no problem. I looked for a date on the bottle; I think it might be a bit old but no way to tell for sure with out a date
