We figured we'd kick off our Bronx Barrel Reserve series with a bang, by short aging our White IPA in NY State red wine barrels. The mix of different wine varietals lends notes to strawberries, raspberries, and plums to our already massively juicy IPA. While resting in these wine barrels we add a dry hop of Pacific Gem and Citra to help set this beer off like a firework for your senses.

This beer tips over into 4.25 zone because of its layers and originality.
a) Pours thick, sediment laden, floor river, hazy peach-gold body, sporting a cratering, long-lasting, white head that laces fog around the glass.
s) Aroma is fruit bomb, complex, mainly of orchard, plum and white grapes, fall leaves, grass, earthy rows
t) Taste is more complex, starting with bitter pine goodness layered with more orchard fruit and a peach and pineapple mid-palate, then drying into a tannic, white pepper bitterness that balances the ride.
f) Juicy feel, a bit creamy, that finishes clean, wine-like, white peppery, astringent (for such a fruit bomb), giving one's mouth a lovely see-saw of sweet and bitter.
o) Original DIPA bomb. Hard to find, I opened another and nursed it, shared it, talked about it. A good sign. Try 24. 8% abv is masked by the abundant fruit.

Pours hazy , slightly peachy[pink+orange]-gold. Substantial, long-lasting, white head, with 1-1/2" of lacing.
Aroma is fresh (a la an ocean breeze), fruity-that of Citra hops, + a little plum and white grape juice.
Taste is an immediate smack of piney bitterness, followed by grapefruit pith, plus a brief instant of pineapple juice and peach, then a tannic element. Finishes with a dry bitterness.
Feel is initially creamy, then quickly becomes prickly/astringent, over the whole tongue. Finishes with just a tickle on the tip.
A bit of a palate-assault, but overall enjoyable, once that is realized. The 8.1% abv is well-hidden.
