On-tap at THG.

A: Pours dark golden with yellow highlights. Greasy off-white head. Wispy sticky streaky lace.
S: Dank and herbal hops with sweet juicy undertone. Very juicy and delicious smelling.
T: Follows the nose with notes of juicy/sweet tropical hops mixed with dank slight minty and herbal flavors.
M: Greasy and sticky mouthfeel, smooth low creamy creamy carb, medium body. Low bitterness, some lingering residual sugar.
O: Super smooth flavorful but not overpowering at all. Tons of flavor, greasy oils, but delicious and clean. Bitterness and sweetness perfectly balanced.

 

 

Good DIPA

 

 

Crowler pour into a Spiegelau IPA glass. Pours vibrant orange copper with finger of white medium density head that left sporadic lacing. Nose, as expected and as advertised, is uber dank and earthy. Taste follows the nose, perhaps some subtle cat pee attributes on the finish but otherwise quite nice. Finishes with plenty of bitterness that lingers a bit. Mouthfeel on the thinner side and carbonation on the higher side which lead to some moderate tingling with the finish. Beer is as advertised, and given the number of other dank-emphasis beers I've had from them lives up to my expectations.
