Double IPA with Lime Zest
A collaboration with Barreled Souls [Saco, ME]. Brewed with 200 limes for zesty aromas of margaritas and key lime pie with lingering soft, hop flavors of vanilla ice cream + Riesling.

Had on tap at the brewery.
Pours a light golden color. The lime comes through strongly in both the aroma and taste. Much thinner malt than expected for a double, probably two row with nothing else to back it up. No burn in the end (which is good with me). Kind of disappointed with this one as a DIPA and I don't feel like the lime adds anything special for my tastes, however I understand others mileage may vary with others.

Pours a clear straw color with a nice white head. Smell is lime zest, citrus, pine, and bready malts. The lime is present in the flavor and provides a nice tartness. Citrus, pine, and resinous hops also are in the flavor, along with some light caramel and bread notes. Feel is decently full. Overall, nice DIPA from two excellent breweries. The lime zest makes this pretty unique from most other DIPAs around.
