Hazy, light amber colour. Thin creamy head. Bold and complex hop character. Sweet mango, peach, some plums and of course some tight grapefruit and lemon. Complex, pleasantly earthy and herbal flavor elements. Resins hit in the finish. Superb malt body, just enough rich caramel for balanced sensation. Very bitter, lingering finish lets complex hop flavors shine and still finds amazing balance and drinkability.

Kurz würzigerm dann stark hopfiger Antrunk, etwas dunkel werdend. Im Mittelteil nimmt die Würzigkeit wieder zu und ist der Hopfigkeit ebenbürtig, dabei wird eine hintergründige Herbe gut verdeckt. Im Abgang wird das Bier schnell milder, zu dem Zeitpunkt wo man nun nichts mehr erwartet schlägt der Hopfen erneut zu. Gerne wieder! Vielen Dank an den Doppelbock für das Teilen des Bieres. 9/13/12/12/13/12

dark honey gold with a bit of orange, a big light tan head, great retention and lacing... nose is a bit light and boring for a west coast ipa, musky, wet hops, grass, alcohol finish, ok nothing special... taste is way too much alcohol with a very bitter pine resin finish... feel is way to chewy... not a big fan of this

a hop aroma that has pine as its most prevelant followed closely by a citrusy mango aroma as well that blends awesomely with the sweet caramel malt sits at a golden oragish color, beautiful and perfect for the style, first taste is an awesome piney bite that goes into a sweet maltiness and finishes dry with some lingering piney bitterness awesome beer piney, but not to the point where it is no longer desireable, the mouthfeel is very creamy for this style and adds nicely to the sweet malt flavor

Pours deep amber with nice citrus notes (orange peel and grapefruit). This slides into a sticky sweeter malt feel prior to the hops catching up with bitter citrus notes. They seem to come bit shorter than the hop notes on the nose.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a deep amber colour with a medium frothy white head, quite clear. Aroma is of citrus fruits; grapefruit and oranges, floral hops, pine, caramel scents, and very slight booze notes. Taste is reasonably sweet up front, but the bitterness takes over quickly and intensifies through the finish. Medium-full body, smooth on the palate, with lively carbonation. Overall a very good beer and a nice double IPA.

Reviewed from notes.
Pours a moderate orange color with a good white head and a bit of lacing. Nose brings some citrus, floral, and grassy hops. The taste is all hop. There are notes of orange, grapefruit, rind, grass, and flowers. Altogether, everything is quite fantastic and the bitterness is really nice. Feel is dry and bitter. Nice flavor and feel, this is exactly what I expect from a good DIPA.
