22oz bomber. Pours a hazy copper color with a decent white head. Aroma of sweet tropical fruit. Pineapple, mango, papaya, and some sweet malt. Taste is more on the citrus side. Lemon rind, grapefruit, resin, and caramel malt.

Bottle. Nice DIPA. Bought in Chicago. Age? Golden orange, nice citrusy piney agressive bitterness. Very flavorful, great mouthfeel. Nice beer, perhaps a victim of overexpectations

22oz bottle in a tulip. Pours amber with a lacy, off-white head. Aroma of citrusy and resinous hops, some dough, and caramel malts. Flavor the same. Average texture. A decent double IPA.

Now That is an IPA. Pungent citrus-hop aroma. Nicely layered, full flavored beer. Not for the timid.

Had it out of a bomber, poured a clear yellow color with a thin head and even lacing. The aroma is of sweet hops, tickles the nostrils even, the taste is hoptacular with notes of citrus. I Say yes!

Quite dank with pine and citrus pith. Light body with a fairly heavy handed bitterness. Super resinous. Dry and very drinkable.

BMMillsy (717) - Florida, USA - MAY 24, 2013
Bottle from trade with Lemonhead. Thanks! Batch 131 (I think that's what it says). Pours clear light copper with a small white head. Aroma of mango, grapefruit, orange, and definite caramel malt backbone. Big slick mouthfeel with relatively low carbonation (i.e. needs a bit more). Orange peel, mango, pine, big malt profile. Flavor rings a bit flat for me after the huge aromas. Maybe my taste buds are muted from the spicy dinner I just had, but hops seem slightly stale. Solid beer overall, but was expecting more. Very glad I got a chance to taste some Pipeworks though!

This was a nice IPA. I would like to try it a little more fresh. Lots of awesomeness going on in this however. Really good and drinkable.

Daytonbeer (398) - Ohio, USA - MAY 20, 2013
Pours orangish yellow with small white head and lacing. Aroma of fruits like strawberries and peaches and citrus hops. Taste is a very good balance of strong hops and a sweet malty backbone. Smooth and drinkable for a double IPA.
