Rich caramel malt sweetness is beaten over the head with bright, fresh American hop flavors of grapefruit citrus, pine and tropical fruit in our double IPA. This beer is the bigger, more successful brother of Kidnapped by Vikings.

Had one the other day and wrote it off as too sweet, but I am tasting again now and want to take my time to review this. It is sweeter than I like, yes. But it’s got a lot of subtle flavors and decent hop profile. Beautiful/rich amber color. Taste is immediate malt caramel then changes to pine and mild bitterness.

Foggy orange, white head, some nice lacing. Snot locker says pine and grapefruit, taste buds agree. Medium bodied, nicely carbonated. I could make this a regular IPA.

16oz can. Date stamped 10 16 18. I had this once before when I was out on a date with my wife, but never gave it an official review. A foamy ivory head caps a slightly hazy bronze colored DIPA. Big juicy fruity aroma with citrus, pine, and caramel with some mango and faint pineapple. Sweet caramel malt and honey notes meet juicy & bitter hops flavors of piney mango, orange, grapefruit, and again - faint pineapple on the back of the palate. Fuller body, ample carbonation, alcohol comes through occasionally, finishes pretty well balanced with a bit of a bitter bite on the end. This was better than I remember it being. Glad to come back to it.

Cloudy with a lighter amber color. Excellent lacing from the typical head--plenty of rings and streaks.
Mild aroma. It leans to the malt with notes of biscuits and dry caramel. Little hop.
The flavor is more balanced with distinctively biting hop. The malt is subtler with less taste than the smell indicates. The body leans thin with an elevated effervescence. Long bitter aftertaste.
