DDH Heart And Soul
Crooked Run Fermentation

Poured from a 16-oz can into pint glass in April 2022. I did not see a brewed date on the label, but I bought this at the brewpub and drank this less about 1 month after purchase.

Appearance: Brown/gold color with huge white head like other IPAs. It is a bright and has a very hazy complexion, which I could not see through. Head is very thick, and it lasts a minute time, leaving a small covering. There is a lot of lacing on the glass.

Smell: The aroma filled the room while the beer was being poured. Strong aroma of citrus, pine, and hops, as well as some earthy aromas and sweetness like pineapple. Overall, the citrus aroma dominates the other aromas.

Taste: Sweet taste with a moderate bitter hops edge. There is also a typical hops and citrus flavor, but with some sweetness as well. This is not too bitter like most other American IPAs. Has a very nice after-taste that lasts a moderate time.

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied, which makes this very drinkable. Medium-low alcohol, which matches the 6.5% listed.

This is an interesting IPA. It has a nice mix of citrus, grapefruit, hops, malt, and other flavors, which makes it enjoyable. I like the overall balance, and that the citrus flavors are pronounced but do not dominate the flavor. It has a moderate amount of hop bitterness, so is easier to drink than some other stronger IPAs. This would be a good IPA to drink often.

P.S. I also tried their Pyramid Scheme and Spitfire IPAs. Spitfire is very difference with a much more earthy taste, and is not as good as their Pyramid Scheme. I prefer drinking Pyramid Scheme to this Heart and Soul, and will probably not buy Spitfire.
