Draught @ CT River Brewfest: This was a pretty impressive beer. It poured an orangish color without much head. The nose was a fairly potent but not overpowering wiff of piney hops. The taste is pretty hoppy, but not overpowering in spite of being strong. A nicely balanced concoction.

Pours a golden hazy color with a 1F head with light lacing.

Smells and tastes of slightly dank piney hops, malt, and grapefruit with a moderately bitter boozy warm finish.

Medium body and carbonation.

This is a West Coast , simple, hoppy, alcohol bomb.

From the can, it pours a hazy amber with a modest off-white head. In the nose, it is pine resin and a bit of malt. In the mouth, it is moderately bitter and smooth. Nice, but strong DIPA.

2022 update: 11 percent alcohol noted on the can. It is now clear with a vigorous white head that slowly reduces.

a: clear amber with a finger thick white head which receded to even surface foam and dense lacing.

s: Pine resin and some bready malt

t; Follows the nose with moderate bitterness which lingers on the otherwise dry finish. High ABV is pretty well covered.

m; Medium, good body and some carbonation tingle.

o: A strong west coast style double in which piney bitterness covers the alcohol bite.

a: clear golden amber color with a large 2 finger frothy off-white head

s: pine, cedar, apricot, weed, grains, sweet malts, pineapple, caramelized strawberry, creamsicle, and a huge doughy note

t: big hit of bitter grapefruit, cedar, sweet candi sugar, grassy herbal hops, and a big bready doughy backbone. there is some pine and cardamom in here as well. this is definitely on the bitter side for a DIPA

m: heavier side of medium mouth with quite a bit of carbonation

o: decent beer. it's more bitter than many DIPA's i've had before, and doesn't give you that syrupy mouthfeel that you get with many of them. that makes it dangerously drinkable for 11%

Best IPA around if you call yourself a IPA human. I drink IPA's everyday ya I'm a drunk what's your excuse! So balanced it's surprising.

Looks: Pretty bright yellow almost orange.

Smell: Smells nice and hoppy nothing special.

Taste: Slitghty bitter and balanced. Taste is everything with this beer; not only taste amazing for IPA it destroys any Doubl IPA I've encountered. Sam Rouser is garbage to this which I like occasionally.

Feel: Bangs you up, one beer it starts to creep making you want more. Filled with good humolones and fresh beer Yeast. You will not regret.

Overall: Top Shelf! I almost cried at $13 bucks a growler but one beer deep I would of paid $13 for 1 love this beer will buy again!

Thank You,
OPA OPA happy to live in taxachussets for once respect!
