Went to Windmill Farms for a sandwich and told myself I was going to casually look at beers and grab a few if it made sense. Well, I came back with a 4-pack of Barrel-Aged Ten Fidy and nine singles, including one of these. Their website called this “This digital double IPA is ushering in a new dawn and awakening our senses to an alternate reality. The reality ruled by the oppressive grip of Analog Don and his sinister simulation. In order to escape this dystopia, we must overload the cyber mainframe with lupulin. Crack this can to unleash these electric flavors and send this diabolical overlord back from whence he came.” Mentioned hops were Nelson Sauvin, Simcoe Cryo, Mosaic, Sabro and Amarillo.

Poured a medium yellow semi-hazy color with five fingers of rocky white head. Plenty of bubble streams coming up along the sides of the glass. Almost perfect layered foamy lacing. Perfect foamy retention. (Sight - 4.75)

Nelson and Mosaic jumped out in the nose. Also tangerine rind, Amarillo, pineapple, floral, mango, papaya, grapefruit and pine. Wasn’t get much of the Simcoe or Sabro. (Smell - 4.25)

Tasted just as good as the nose. In order Nelson, Mosaic, Amarillo, tangerine rind, bubblegum, pineapple, floral, papaya, mango, grapefruit, hints of banana, Simcoe, pine and coconut. Wasn’t getting much Sabro. Super smooth for 7.8 pct. ABV. (Taste - 4.25)

Medium body. Oily-to-creamy texture. Average carbonation. Long finish. (Feel - 4.75)

This was a great DIPA. Would like to have some more. (Overall - 4.50)

At Pig and Fire for the first time, at the bar, 2/4/23.

An absolutely amazing beer! Beautiful golden orange color with a very thick and velvet head that lasted a long while!

The aroma is apricot and fresh orange and a slight bright juniper.

Velvety in the mouth and light effervescence. Piney, tropical, slight saline, eggs with a nice bitter end.

Can't say enough about this. Probably just about a perfect IPA.

 

A thanks to the creator of the canquest, woodychandler, for this beer. Poured from a 16 oz. can. Has a hazy golden/orange color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of tropical fruits. Taste is guava, mango, melons,touch of alcohol. Feels medium/full bodied in the mouth and overall is a pretty good beer.

 

I tried a pint of this beer off the tapper at The Milwaukee Burger restaurant in La Crosse, Wisconsin. It poured a hazy golden with white head that left some lace. The scent had dank fruit notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with tropical fruit presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yellow in color with a murky complexion. There’s a half inch of tightly knit and frothy off white on top. Heavy, soapy lacing is present. The aroma is of earthy to green veggie hops. I’m tasting that same earthy to vegetal hop flavor with a fairly creamy and smooth palate.
