3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Good, just good. Coming from me, a "Good" Double IPA is a compliment.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at the brewpub. Cirus orange aroma and big sticky caramel sweet body. Pine resin bitter finish. Solid PNW double IPA.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft at the brewery. Pours orange with a frothy white head. Aroma of pine, herb. Taste is full of great bitterness and just enough malt to balance well. Definitely a resin bomb and not a sweet, tropical DIPA.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bomber purchased at Total Wine in Las Vegas ($4.99). Pours a dark honey-orange with one finger of off-white foam which leaves some decent lacing. Aroma of lemon-y dish soap, peach, pine, and some caramel. Flavor of semi-sweet grapefruit and oranges along with a moderate malt billing and a bit of a metallic taste. Full bodied with some lingering bitterness. An acceptable DIPA but there are so many better ones...at least the price is right. (152, 650)
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Tap at Pike. Pours to a hazed glassy bronze penny colored body with a coating white head and dense lacing. The aroma is super hoppy with notes of juicy pine and spruce with some grapefruit. The flavor is bitter pine with some sweet oranges and fruit rinds. Moderate amount of sweet malts really balances this beer. The palate is bitter but balanced. Medium body.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
dissappointing as a double. Enough hops for IPA, lots of citrus and line and lots of IBUs but not much for fragrant types.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Aroma brings a plethora of caramel sweet malts and piney citrus hops. Pours a a dark shade of golden brown with a thin foam top. Taste is an interesting bread-like malt with some simple herby hops. Overall, theres not a whole lot to say about the flavor. Somewhat bland malts and hops with an almost watery taste. I’d give this a D- rating.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a hazy dark orange color with golden marmalade edges and a two finger frothy white head that slowly fades. Sporadic streaks of lace left behind.
Somewhat bland aroma with floral hops, and an earthy pine character. Herbal with some grass and a faint malt presence in the nose.
Medium bodied with a slightly creamy texture and a dry, bitter hop presence up front that lingers over the sweeter notes and malt backbone into bone dry finish. Lots of grassy pine needle flavor along with subtle citrus and a sweet malt presence nhints of orange peel and grapefruit mid-palate followed by some caramel and biscuit. The ABV is well masked but the hop presence is a bit one dimnsional and overly dry. Still, it’s a pretty good beer that I would buy again.
