Poured into a tulip, the appearance was a mild milky caramel amber color with a small cap of a little off white foamy head gliding off nicely. Semi-bubbly lace with falling off foaminess.
The aroma had some floral to grassy hop notes rolling on into some bready malts. Some pine and tangerine sweetness.
The flavor leaned towards the sweet spot through all of the prior mentioned aromas. Good aftertaste of tangerines, floral and piney and grassiness.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sipping quality about it. Plenty of floral dryness makes me take small sips. Some smoothness but dryly meets the finish with some grassy to citrusy hop bitterness.
Overall, definitely that old school semi-malty DIPA. It's do-able but the "juice box kids" won't like this one.

Thick, creamy, soft head. Could be latte foam. Hazy golden-honey coloring. Mild visible carbonation. Great head for ~10%. Nose could be stronger, gotta say; nectar, pine needles. Not getting too much out of the nose. Warming brings out some white bread-like maltiness, but not much more. Taste has an upfront burst of juicy nectarines, then a bit of grassiness, followed by good malt/hops interplay for some sweet juicy fruit flavors, then fading on a spicy bitter note, touch of alcohol in the finish, too.
Overall, not a bad IPA. I don't think it's big or bold enough to get a "double" moniker, but overall, not a bad beer. Easy going flavors, nothing too outrageous. Solid hopping, strong malt base. Alcohol peeks out a bit.

Absolutely delicious double IPA and my favorite beer of Denver Beer Co thus far. Great balance of fruity hops with the malt. Wouldn't know it was such high ABV by the taste, very smooth. Great stuff.

Wow, this is not what I was hoping for. As a huge fan of Incredible Pedal I was expecting greatness, but something terrible happened here. The flavors don't mesh well at all in this mess of a beer. I would not recommend anyone hopping on this other seat, I'll ride this tandem alone.

Bottled 6/8. Really strong showing, definitely their best beer I've had. Silky, sticky, soft mouthfeel from honey, residual sweetness. Mosaic and Nelson on scent. Crispy carb. This really impressed me. Incredible Pedal shines through a little bit in the hop bill.
A poor man's Trillium Artaic? Better than Hopslam.
