Commercial Description:
This complex double India pale ale has an intense citrus and floral hop aroma balanced by a velvety malt body which has been augmented with lactose milk sugar. With this different take on an IPA we have brewed an ale that is both pleasing to drink and, once again, “not normal.” 100 IBU 9.5%ABV

Bomber in trade with Pittsburghkid, Y’ins r alright an ’at. A far cry from Arn City. Pours a very cloudy amber honey with at slick shimmering tan head. Full bodies and smooth....hops are an undertone. Malts undulate.some Grapefruit tone in the outskirts. Quaff rings of intermingled size build upon each other. Steady carbonation. A fine DIPA. Many thanks.

(22oz bottle) Pours a clear golden orange body with a small white head. Aroma of pineapple, nectarine, apricot, mango, and pear. Flavor of juicy fruit, grapefruit, apricot, pineapple, caramel malt, and nectarine with a dry, bitter finish. Nice!

( 22oz bottle thanks to bu11zeye) pours clear yellow with oily bubbles and nice lacing. Nose of sweet citrus hops. Taste is sweet malt balanced well with the hops. Not bitter and supremely balanced.

Pours a dirty yellow-orange color with a thin off-white head which leaves a few streaks of lacing. Aroma is brown sugary malts, resinous earthy hops. Taste is rather smooth, very sugary with a lot of resinous hops. Average

Bottle from a trade with FlssmrBrewAlum. Pours orange/amber color with off white head. Very malty aroma for a DIPA. There is some citrus hop aroma but not really strong. Flavor is sweet and malty with citrus hop bitterness. Medium body with mild carbonation and a sticky mouthfeel. A good beer, but not as good as I thought it would be. Thanks Adam.

On tap at the Three Floyds on 7/21/09. Pours Hazy orange with frothy beautiful one inch head. Pine dominates the aroma, with only a hint of sweet vanilla. Sweet and cramy up front with a great slow bitter finish. Amazingly unique beer, with the only knock that the alcohol is not hidden too well.

[Bottle] This is really an interesting and unique beer. Pours a hazy orange with a smallish khaki head that leaves a touch of lacing. Aroma is citric and resinous hops, and some definite underlying sweetness. The flavor is really the different part. If I didn’t already know this had lactose I wouldn’t have guessed, but it doesn’t really add any sweetness, except just a hair on the finish. The citric and resinous hops linger long after the finish. There’s also an interesting play between the coarseness of the hops and the smoothness of the lactose that I haven’t seen in any other beer. I didn’t have high expectations for this one going into it, but I’m pretty impressed.
