NEw label. For reference had a dorado before this. SMell is earthy, malts, and citrus hops. Flavor is not bitter at all. Smooth fruitiness, flaoral notes, grapefruit pith creeps in, not caramel malt but sweet malt for balance. Not bad.

Oh, heck yeah-- this is just what I needed to remind me of the awesome, awesome beers that come out of Speakeasy. . . that for the most part I can’t get here in Chi.
This is exactly what it should be-- a nice, huge, juicy, resiny DIPA.
It also has that great malt note that many of Speakeasy’s beers feature-- such a nice balance to the hoppiness.
Not too tart, not too much-- a thoroughly enjoyable and drinkable dipa.

Slutfest 2013: Pencil shavings and grass aroma. Clear amber, thick yellow head, good lacing. Flavor is hay, overripe orange, slightly vegetal, dry. Grassy finish. Meh.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Aromas of caramel, almond, pine, and lemon. Clear gold with fading, white head. Malty with a touch of sweetness, and balancing, earthy hops.medium bodied with good carbonation, some spice, and finishes with a snap of hops and lingering, nutty malts.
3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Smooth imperial IPA. Potent at 8.5%, but doesn’t taste that strong as you drink it. Pale amber colour, slight fizz, very nice.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours light amber high carbonation with three finger light cream foamy head. Aroma is super grassy hops with grapefruit. Taste is grass hops like fresh spring into earthy quick middle with bitter grapefruit finish and lingering quiet but present aftertaste. Bit too much grapefruit for me and doesn’t represent imperial IPA well.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draft. Pours deep gold. Slight white head. Aroma of tropical fruits. Taste is passion fruit, pineapple, grass, and a slight malt balance. Finishes crisp but slightly sticky.
