Great Raft Grace and Grit

Can. Pours hazy amber with a large head and sticky lace. Aroma of orange, fresh baked bread, and tropical fruits. Toasted malt backs up a load of tropical fruit hops, big mouthfeel with a smooth finish. Extremely likable. Haven’t liked a double IPA this much in quite some time

Hazy orange pour with a slightly off white head and nice sticky lacing. Strong grapefruit pith, tropical fruit, and grassy aroma. Taste is citrus zest, mango, pine, grass, and a little toffee sweetness. Lingering grapefruit and citrus aftertaste. Medium body. Easy drinking. Great beer.

Apricot-colored and cloudy with a medium head and a strong, grapefruit nose. Some lacing. Easy intro with medium carbonation, a medium palate, and a pineapple, grapefruit, and lemon finish. Strong but the alcohol is well-hidden.

4 oz pour on draft at Bluejacket. Hazy yellowish orange with off-white head. Aromas of stone fruit, tropical fruit, citrus, floral notes, orange. Tastes of tropical fruit, citrus, floral notes. Medium body with a dry finish. Nice DIPA.

Grace and Grit has a thin-to-medium, off-white head, a milky, cloudy, orange-gold appearance, and heavy glass lacing. The aroma is of sweet malt, resinous hop oils, and white wheat bread. The taste presents similar elements, with hearty, yet, not harsh, bitterness. Mouthfeel is high-medium to low-heavy, and Grace and Grit finishes medium dry. RJT

Can - Pours a cloudy gold with sudsy white head. Aroma of citrus fruits, pine, hay, sour dough bread. Flavor of sour fruits, grass, doughy dinner rolls, hoppy finish.

Hazy yellow with a white head (like a double IPA from north east). Juicy tropical hops, florals, esters and dank. Great palate, sticky, alcohol well hidden, hella fruity, excellent finish.

From a large shared bomber bottle. Appearance: Hazy amber body with a very durable head. Flavor: Moderately strong and hoppy for style. A little boozy, especially for less than 8% ABV.

On tap at Cochon. Pours a hazy orange with medium creamy white head that lasts. The aroma is strong citrus, dank, pine. Medium mouth, pine, citrus, resin finish, very nice.

My Bottom Line:
This very juicy Double IPA develops passionfruit and peach aromas over salty minerals, until hop resins conclude each compelling sip.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A sheet of foam covers the hazy orange.
-The mouthfeel is very smooth.
-The flavor profile is hop heavy, but malts still contribute just enough sugars to make the foundation solid.
-Woah, this was a great surprise! If this were brewed in California, it would become hugely popular.
