Tasted in a Teku glass from a 1 pt 6 oz bottle on October 25, 2015. Look is copper orange hue, medium head and light lacing. Smell is funky earth, sweet malt notes with hints of pine and citrus. Taste is rock candy, dank earth and bitter pine resin. Feel is medium in body and bitter in the finish. Cool label, average beer.

Tasted from a 12 oz can in a goblet.

L - Light orange color with heavy haze. A tiny amount of sediment at the bottom of the glass was unexpected from a canned beer. Strong, sticky, persistent off-white head and accompanying lace.

S - Hops aromas are a mix of tropical fruit and earthy notes. Also a decent amount of bready malt in the background.

T - Fresh tropical fruit flavors from the hops dominate, over top of sweet, bread-like malt with some sweetness toward the finish. Some of the fruitiness could be from yeast.

F - Medium to heavy body. Medium to strong carbonation. Moderate hops bitterness is more than needed to offset the malt sweetness, but not much more. Some alcohol presence, but low for the ABV.

O - This is an easy-drinking, enjoyable hazy IPA. The only strike against it is the unusual sediment that is beyond "hazy" and into odd. The aroma is not outstanding, but the flavors and mouthfeel are well above average.

"Adjective Animal."

Currently #63 on the top Tennessee Beers list.

CAN: 12 fl oz format. Standard pull-tab. No canned on or best by date. Pink label.

"Double India Pale Ale." 8.6% ABV. No mention of hop varietals used appears on the label, but their website shows Nugzilla, Citra, Falconers Flight, and Centennial.

Original Gravity: 19.5 plato
Final Gravity: 3.5
IBU: 78
Bittering Hops: Bravo
Aroma Hops: Centennial, Falconer's Flight
Dry Hops 1: Nugzilla, Falconer's Flight
Dry Hops 2: Citra
Malts: Two Row, Honey Malt
Yeast: Ale

AROMA: Grapefruit. Pine. Pale malt. Floral hop aromatics. Resin. Obvious bitterness.

Aromatic intensity is moderate.

TASTE & TEXTURE: Has obvious alcohol warmth, limiting drinkability. Pale malts try to counter the hop bitterness, with grapefruit amplifying perceived bitterness and ultimately overpowering the malt sweetness leading to imbalance. Resins, floral hops, citrus, pulp.

Centennial and Citra are poorly showcased. Any pine and citrus disappears beneath the hop bitterness and scraping grapefruit.

Smooth, wet, medium to full-bodied, unrefreshing, thick, moderately heavy on the palate, well-carbonated. Not oily, gushed, astringent, or rough, but it is scrapey and warm which doesn't do it any favours.

OVERALL: A hot IIPA with a subpar hop profile and low drinkability. Forgettable fare I wouldn't buy again at $8.49 USD a 4 pack plus tax...not sure what they were after with this one but at least they aren't using the double dry hopped fad as a marketing crutch (yet). I don't know who'd select this over Lagunitas Sucks in a blind taste test, and that beer is both widely distributed and more affordable.

Not a beer I'd recommend.

Hazy gold color with white cap and lacing.

Aroma of strong pine supported by citrus.

Taste on entry is heavily malt which is quickly covered over by the pine and citrus hops. Fairly simple flavors that track alongside each other without actually blending together. It tastes and feels like they doubled everything.

Full texture with balancing carbonation.

This is quite simply a strong brew.
