3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Comes out of the tap a semi-transparent mahogany with a thick, fine-bubbled light tan head. Malty aroma has a decidedly hoppy overtone. Strongly hoppy flavor has malt, caramel and fruity sub-notes and is scarcely bitter. Smooth texture leaves a nice, if not strong, fizz. I don’t know about taking the enamel off one’s teeth, but this is a respectable double IPA!

On tap at Wrecking Bar. Nose has a strong citrus component with some tropical notes in the background. Flavor is similar but adds in a bit too much malt. Nice bitterness.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear reddish amber with a near white head that dissipates to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma has a good amount of pine hops with some grapefruit and a sweet grain backing that has a slight dankness. Flavor has a light resinous pine up front that mellows to a grassiness with a good amount of sweet grain backing.
