This IIPA, the latest addition in our hop-highlighting NvU Epic Battle series, has a bright, fresh hop aroma, and a subtle bitterness, that has us all talking about how crushable this is. (DISCLAIMER: Please do not actually crush beer while still in bottle and cap is still on. It will hurt…not that we know) Drink early, drink often.

Poured a clear orange color with golden highlights and a small, white head. It smelled of citrus fruits and floral notes. Nice bitter taste up front with sweet caramel and a touch of honey.

Appearance: Darker than I thought it would be: Dark golden orange with a thin cap of tiny bubbles leaves little to no lacing in the glass.
Aroma: Dank orange and hops, a little pine.
Taste: Spicy orange juice! Love that Amarillo hop!
Mouthfeel: Medium with that spicy orange and citrus lingering on palate.
Overall: A delicious IIPA! It's always great to get some Pipeworks beers and this one is tasty!

Another great ninja series beer from the boys at pdubs.
The appearance was a really hazy reddish-orange.
The aroma was big juicy citrus, orange, floral and dank resiny hop notes. Also some sweet malts
The tastes followed the nose with a big juicy orange and citrus along with the floral and dank resiny hop bitterness.
The palate was medium plus with a lingering resiny dank bitterness.
Overall this is another really solid ninja IIPA from arguably my favorite brewery.

22oz bottle poured into a tulip glass, no bottle date
A- pours a clear amber color with a small one-finger creamy white head that retains nicely after the pour, small patches of lace left behind
S- aroma is malt forward with some bready notes, not expected of the style. There are some fruity hop aromas popping through, along with some citrus notes.
T- fruity hops up front with notes of red berries, citrus peel, guava, honey and some floral notes. The hops provide plenty of flavor without bringing a lot of bitterness. Soft underlying bready malt, more fruity hops not he finish
M- medium body with medium carbonation leads to a creamy mouthfeel that continues into the finish, abv is hidden very well
O- not my favorite of this series but as the label states, very crushable for a DIPA
