4.14/5  rDev +5.9%
look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Appearance-Amber with eggshell foam out of a 16 ounce can.

Smell-Grass, Strawberries, Raspberries, Bitters.

Taste-Follows the nose with a light cream on the end palate. Sort of like a strawberry creamsicle.

Mouthfeel-Nice weight for an IPA. Heavy but not overwhelming. Finish is a good length.

Overall-I wasn't expecting much but I think this is my favorite I've had from Golden Road. I love the shift to a light mouthfeel on the finish. Nicely done.

Smells very floral with a crisp subtle mint, maybe some eucalyptus and some underlying fruitiness. The taste is very smooth and sweet with the hop flavors described in the smell all melding together. Slight bit of alcohol to let you know its a double ipa. The more and more I drink this beer the more I get complexities from the hops used. I had this and a two hearted back to back and this one is winning in my opinion. Perhaps its the better mouthfeel because of the double IPA but I just like this taste better. Anyways, solid beer that leaves just enough bitterness to let you know it means business.

quick note: whatever happened to writing up a full review on BA? Hopefully this is a little more comprehensive than the other reviews:
Appearance: light golden/orange with 1 finger head

Aroma: slight orangey hops, malts and alcohol heat also present

Taste: hoppy on the front end but not overly bitter. Nice malty backbone however the alcohol is slightly noticeable but given that it's 9.4% it's still very drinkable. A great tasting DIPA.

Light-to-medium body. Average carbonation.

A nice DIPA - surprisingly light yet also nice and hoppy. I would buy this again.

Fairly heavy and malty mouthfeel. Resinous hop profile that doesn't impress much. Not bad, somewhat generic.
