077XX | Carton Brewing Company
Brewed by:
Carton Brewing Company
New Jersey, United States | website
Style: American Double / Imperial IPA
Alcohol by volume (ABV): 7.80%
Availability: Year-round
Notes / Commercial Description:
Like all things truly Jersey, 077XX makes the most in balancing through its accentuation of extremes. Inspired by the west coast IPAs we love, we added a thump of hops to a dynamic malt profile and chose a yeast to drive these two further than they wanted to go. Throw our water into this mix and you will find dank green resinous hops popping over orange, mango and papaya aromas, with just enough sweetness of body to make the long finish a pleasure to have around. Drink 0’Dub when your night matters.

On tap at Cloverleaf Tavern. One of the best beers to come out of Jersey in a while. A true-to-the-style IPA packed with a punch of hops and lemon zest. Strong hints of grapefruit on the nose and tongue as well. Tropical flavors also apparent. Great stuff. Recommended.

Two pours from a 16 oz can (packaged 8/1) into a goblet. Light orange-yellow, just a shade darker than straw, with good clarity and about 1/4" head. Loads of citrus in the smell: grapefruit and orange, in rind-y, essential-oily, and juicy gradations, passionfruit, and a hint of lean, sweet malt as well. Really rich and complex in flavor, berry-like sweetness balanced with wave on wave of citrus and a firm but balanced bitterness. Having read that O-dub originated with an experimental batch of Boat, I feel as though I can detect the Boat DNA in there: something about how the initial punch of hops emerging from a clean base and giving way to layers of flavors. Surprisingly lean and light-bodied. Fantastic double IPA.

Great fruity aromas... Nice pop in its hops presentation. Smooth mouth feel. Aroma faded quickly but the taste made up for it. Ibu is 80 but seems higher because of the 7.8 alc value... Which you can notice.

Poured from a tallboy into a shaker pint, the beer is a hazy, straw gold coloring with a filmy, low profile, clingy, white head. Aromas of bright citrus and tropical fruit notes, juicy and tart, with solid pine pitch and resinous hops profiles. Very well balanced nose. Flavors are dank and sticky resin, pine pitch, moss, and wet grass forward, followed immediately by tart grapefruit and orange, then by a more mild bolt of tropical fruit. The end of the palate transitions into a slightly acidic, slightly cloying, still resinous blend that lingers on into the aftertaste. The body is smooth and big, but with a dry backbone and crisp, effervesced finish. Very good, and extremely drinkable for a DIPA. Bold flavors on a crisp, balanced body. Huzzah!

a: slightly hazy amber/straw yellow color with a 1 finger marshmellow-like white frothy head
s: mango, pineapple, slightly onion-y with some lemongrass and bready malts towards the back end. there is a nice earthy bitterness in the aroma as well. smells very crisp and clean
t: taste has a little bit of juicy pineapple upfront, which is then followed by a huge onion/garlic presence. behind that i'm picking up some apricot, and sweet citrus zest. there is a pretty strong grapefruit bitterness in here as well that acts as the backbone to the beer. there is a faint dry cracker malt presence towards the end as well, but not a whole lot of sweetness coming from the malts
m: medium mouthfeel. carbonation is about 5 out of 10 - the perfect amount. though, i will admit the mouthfeel is a tad light for a DIPA - i'm used to a heavier, almost syrupy mouthfeel.
o: the can says 7.8%, but i can't taste that in here at all. its got a solid kick of bitterness, with just enough fruity hops so that its not overwhelming. in addition to being extremely tasty, its quite refreshing as well and i'm finding the liquid disappearing from the glass at a rapid rate. overall, this is a very solid beer and a definite recommend. only comment i really have is that the mouthfeel is a tad light for a DIPA in my book

Carton 077XX
L: Light copper and a little hazy. White head maintains well. Sporadic carbonation bubbles. 4.25
S: Orange and tangerine. Some dank and piney. A malty sweetness is in the background but very noticeable. 4.5
T: Prickly bitterness and orange, tangerine and piney hops. There's enough malt sweetness to hold this together. The further I get into this, the more I appreciate the sweetness and how it accentuates the hop flavors. 4.5
F: Medium body, moderate carbonation. It fells fuller than I think it is. 4.25
O: This is very good. It's a well brewed, well balanced (hop forward for an IPA) IPA. The malt is still a big contributor in this beer despite being very hoppy and juicy. 4.5

I received this as part of the latest NBS/BIF from the very generous SammyJaxxxx. A pint sized can dated 4/7/16 poured in a 13oz. tulip glass.
Look- Pours a radiant yellow leaving a generous finger of creamy white foam that settles to form intricate lacing on the glass.
Smell- I could smell juicy hops the second I opened this can outdoors in the rain for a picture! Passionfruit, grapefruit, pineapple, guava, and weed. There's a slight touch of floral notes and malt that emerge through the citrus.
Taste- Tropical juiciness abound with passionfruit, grapefruit, pineapple, guava and a hint of blood orange. Some pleasant floral esters emerge in the finish.
Feel- Slick and crisp with a semi dry finish.
Overall- This can run with the best on any coast! I'm shocked it's not ranked higher. The juicy tropical flavor followed by a slick malt backbone make it one flavorful and pleasing to the palate IPA. I'm so glad he sent several for me to enjoy.

Pours a slightly hazy golden straw color. Leaves a fluffy white head with solid retention and lacing.
The aroma is all tropical with some citrus. I get notes of mango and peach as well as some melon. A slight touch of grapefruit can be detected on the back end.
The flavor is more malt forward than expected. Slightly spicy and bready, with some notes of grapefruit and mango. Good balance.
Mouthfeel is medium-light bodied with moderate carbonation. Lots of bitterness on the back end.
Overall, a good, well balanced IPA.

Nice straw yellow, light orange hue that's quite opaque. Minimal haze. Half finger white head with great lacing.
Smell is very tropical. Pears, melon, mango, candied orange, starburst, guava, orange peels. Pretty impressive. Not malty or hoppy in the nose at all.
Slightly tropical taste, a little mango and orange juice. Mainly malt foward taste. Malt is biscuit and sweet bread. You get the resinous hops as it goes down.
Solid IPA. Nothing overly powerful, just right. Very nice balance of tropical and bitter.

16 oz can early March canning in a teku glass
A: Gold, straw, peach colored, very clear. One-finger, effervescent head recedes into a thin covering in middle of glass, not much of a ring. Moderate amount of lacing.
S: Pear, melon, juicy fruit. Floral with a hint of of honey and booze. Orange and peach as well.
T: Pepper and fruit with a biscuity backbone.
M: About right for the style
O: Solid. Used to be an All-World DIPA for me, but craft keeps pushing forward. Still a very good beer.

Big aroma of citrus rind and grapefruit, with a little peach and mango. The body's bone dry and the finish is spicy and wonderfully balanced with the grapefruit returning at the very end. The juicier, sweeter-tasting tropical fruit pops up, then the bitter citrus pulls back. Great IPA.

I can't believe I haven't rated this before. Poured into Carton IPA glass. It pours a hazy golden-amber with a fluffy, snow white head and lacing. It smells of grapefruit, tangerine, mango, pine needles, and floral hops. It's a nice dank aroma. The taste is big and bold with lots of hoppy bitterness. The taste is more grapefruit forward but the is also a lot of sweet fruit and pine resin. The tastes blend really well. This ale is medium-bodied, moderately carbonated and with an ABV of 7.8% it is easy to drink. Overall, Odub is a tremendous IPA, one that makes me proud to hail from the Garden State. It's easier to find on draught than in the can but it gives me an excuse for a trip to the brewery. Way to go, Carton!

Smell is dank, piney, citrus, and hoppy.
Taste is very dank, piney, and hoppy. Citrus is there but very minor.
Mouthful is light to medium with moderate to light carbonation. Finish is dank.
Overall more of a west coast IPA than an east coast iteration. This was a bit disappointing for me as I enjoy the more citrus forward ipas. Try it if you like the west coast style.

16oz can, sample from the brewery.
Bright golden color, slight haze. Froth leaves a trail of lace down the glass. Lots of citrus zest, pith, and some rind in the nose and on the palate. Good malt backbone, some tropical fruit, and a kiss of warmth from the alcohol. Spot on from body to nose to flavor, near perfection here.

A nice brew, but nothing stands out as amazing. I felt it was a bit bland in the hop chatacter, a bit low abv for a double IPA. Poured from a growler it was a bit on the cloudy side. Nice color, nice head. In my opinion a bit above average, especially for an East Coast IPA. Nice to ring in the New Year with.

On draft in a tulip glass
Slightly hazy golden color. White head, some lacing. Nice hop aroma - mix of citrus - orange and grapefruit. Just enough bready malt flavor to balance the hops, only slightly bitter. Softer mouthfeel, a touch oily. Nice aftertaste.
