A Good Problem To Have Double IPA
Neshaminy Creek Brewing Company

Way too bitter and dry.

Well, I've had a r pack since 2015 and I don't think it complete held up. The flavor and aroma is still good, but it's a little flatter and a lot more cloudy as it has aged. This was my all time favorite beer and Neshaminy Creek is one of the best breweries in PA but I was sad to see that it didn't do. Etter with age.

 

 

 

 

(16 oz can, dated within last few months; purchased single off shelf... poured into Spiegelau IPA glass)

L: slightly-hazy, amber liquid; tall, webby, off-white sponge of foam, jagged decay... after initial foam stand recedes, top-up pour carries a package of speckled sediment, smoothing out the foam, but causing countless (additional) nucleation sites, but the foam holds till last oz; 8" of lace

S: pineapple, grapefruit, bruised flower petals; hints of lime peel and pine; very subtle bready thread of grain poking out, but it's otherwise a hop-sheet atop the malt crust

T: layers of citrusy hops (grapefruit rind, spicy orange flesh) with a grapefruit-y and almost thyme-like, pungent, herbal bitterness humming long past the finish, no doubt propelled a bit by a soft rip of booze... bitterness takes on a more green onion character as it goes; is that a lil mint in the back?... (graham) cracker-y malt laying the foundation

F: resinous hop frappe; tastebuds lit up with bitter hop sting post-finish... smooth as hell, extra-plush fleecy flow... bitterness and ethanol (latter at the crux threshold) keep the palate wide awake, in spite of gas-off from can dirt

O: to a seasoned, weathered IPA drinker, nothing particularly new or innovative, but the flavors are popping, the bitterness ripping - dunno about y'all, but this is hitting winning numbers with me (1572)

 

I don't like it the hop bitterness is acidic downright tannic. The body is rather smooth on par but I don't think this beer will be a problem since for me it's one and done!

 

 

Pours a clear gold. Nice lasting white head. Some residual lacing. Aroma is definitely dank but also soapy. Taste is strong, very earthy, very bitter. Feel is medium carbonation...leaning toward lighter carbonation. There's a slight bit of coating on the mouthfeel, maybe from all the bitterness. Interested to know the IBUs on this one. Overall, those looking for bitterness might find something they like here.

Golden yellow in color with a light, viscous appearance, but otherwise good clarity. Poured with a moderate, creamy, off-white foam with good retention. Dank hop aromas with pine, light floral, and citrus notes. Medium malty aromas. Medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Boozy warmth starts to get a bit prickly near the finish. Caramel malty flavors up front followed by dank, earthy hops and pine. Medium high, biting hop bitterness that transitions to pine and definitive booziness to the end. Finished semi-dryly with prickly, mouth drying booziness and lingering pine hop bitterness. Kinda of an old school IPA with the intense bitterness balanced by a solid malty backbone. Complex hop aromas with pleasant malty notes and intense hop flavors and bitterness. A bit thin in the body. If you like em bitter, this one’s for you.

 

 

 

 

 

On draft at the Borough Brewpub location

Clear light golden color, white head. Aroma is well rounded hops - citrus, pine, floral. Taste is quite bitter, and finishes dry. Like an old school West Coast DIPA. Thin to medium bodied.

Pours a clear, copper color with a creamy looking near-white head. Modest lacing.

Gummy bear, strawberry show in the nose and continue up front in the taste. There's a strong piney, chalky bitterness in the aftertaste.

Medium bodied with strong prickliness in the feel. Decent.
