Double IPA
Horseheads Brewing Inc.

I got a can of this beer from the brewery whilst in the area for my daughter's D3 National Gymnastics Meet. It poured a slightly hazy copper with white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had bitter pine and subtle citrus notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with bitter citrus and pine resin flavor. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

From a 16oz can dated 6/25/21 into a pint glass.

Pours a mostly translucent hazy golden amber with about a finger and a half of white head. Moderate retention and lacing.

Smell is a little muted but getting a little citrus and pine.

Taste is big and dank. Pine, resin, earth. nice bitter kick on the swallow.

Sticky mouthfeel. Strong bitter aftertaste. 8.9% well hidden but a bit warming. Low carbonation.

Overall, a great old school DIPA. nice that smaller breweries are still making beers like this.
