Many I wish I was sharing this with other raters. Growler. Poured a hazed amber with an off white head. I haven’t had a DIPA like this in quite a while. Strong hop forward aroma of pine, grapefruit and sweaty hop aroma. I am guessing there is malt in there by the sweetness. The flavor is a mix of hops and malt but leans definitively to the hops. Pine flavor in the middle with a moderate amount of bitterness that runs for quite a while on the dry finish. Medium body with no signs of alcohol. That is until I down the growler, then I will be the sign. Another winner for Short’s and my new MI hookup Derek

Aug 12, 2008 GTMW ’08. Poured a hazy copper/medium orange color. The head was light tan with a yellowish tint. The aroma was a nice balance of malty caramel and flowery hops. Medium bodied with moderate to high hop bitterness (7 out of 10) that lingered and lingered. Nice flavor profile including the likes of sprucy/citrusy hops, caramel, and toasted bread. I also picked up a hint of bacon mixed in there somewhere. Tasty.
