Jun 9, 2008 Bottle courtesy on Dakine. Pours a light amber with 3 finger beige head and decent lacing. Nose is sweet malt, mellow citrus and some pine. Taste is caramel malt and orange with a mild pine finish. Medium mouth feel. Pretty mild for a DIPA. I’ve had single IPAs with a lot more hop punch.

May 26, 2008 Pours clear orange with off white head. Big hoppy citrus aroma. Sweet malty flavor that balances out the big hop flavor nicely. Alcohol is well hidden for being over 10% abv. Full body with average carbonation and a sticky mouthfeel. A very well done DIPA

does not count  May 25, 2008 Dark honey in color and leaves a big foamy one inch head. It smells of hops, citrus, and grass. Stoudts DIPA is suprisingly sweet and leaves a nice bitter aftertaste. For such a high alcohol content, it is well hidden and goes down smooth. This is by far one of the best double ipa’s i have had. Highly recommended.

May 24, 2008 Amber-honey color with smallish white clingy foam.
Smells very floral with some woody spice and a hint of sweet grapefruity citrus.
Wow, first impression is this is way too sweet... The alcohol is pretty well hidden, as far as heat is concerned, but this cloying sweetness is not much a better alternative. Sweet caramelly, candied orange dominate and the hops just peek out here and there to remind you its a DIPA.
Smooth, despite a decent amount of carbonation and not nearly as sticky feeling as some. Would prefer more hop bitterness to balance the sweetness to keep it drinkable for me.

does not count May 24, 2008 Bold citrus nose. Pours delightfully with great lacing. Big and bold mouthful, with just the right bitterness. Many fruity tastes at first then the alcohol becomes present. I’ve depleted the supplies at 2 local merchants but have found others so my supply hasn’t dried up, hope it lasts thru the summer.

May 19, 2008 Aroma of honey, flowers, grass, citrus. Clear amber orange hue. Average sized off-white head that left great lace. Flavor is sweet and sticky citrus, honey, orange candy and finishes with a nice bitterness. Smooth and soft with nice crispy bitters but kind of cloying. Fantastic DIPA

May 16, 2008 Poured a murky copper orange with a foamy, soapy white head. Extremely hoppy aroma, citrus, pine, perfume, flowers. Malty, citrus, flavor with notes of orange, lemons, grapefruits and hints of mint and vanilla. Not as thick or sweet in the mouth as you would anticipate, finish is subtle with a lasting bitterness and acidity. A peak example of the type and enjoyable and drinkable
