Big Punisher
Jailbreak Brewing Company

Mostly clear amber body with a large white head and little lacing. Aroma of melon and other tropical fruit mixing it up with a bit of citrus and pitted fruit. Moderately sweet taste with a strong malt backbone and only a subtle hop presence. Finish lets you know the abv is relatively high. Decently carbonated, medium-to-full bodied mouthfeel.

when in maryland...

eyes...
slightly hazy orange, clean white head that sticks around, lacing is good, carbonation is average, good enough to meet the style

nose...
citrus, strong orange peel, nice pine back end of hop notes, slightly astringent

taste etc...
solid mouthfeel, prickly carbonation, oh where have the hops gone my friend ? Suddenly malty, which would be fine if I didn't have to put out a missing person's report for the hops, double the IPA means ... well, at least to me, some damn hop kick, this has barely to none, way too sweet a finish for my liking (or not liking in this case), not a bad beer but never in a million years would I blind taste this as a DIPA, maybe an IPA... maybe

verdict?
not a bad beer, but only an average DIPA at best, the beer shows marks in certain departments (mouthfeel, carbonation) but lacks seriously in the most important category for this swisher of brew.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This came across to me as an exceedingly ordinary double IPA. My drinking companion called it the worst he has ever had. I won't go that far, but it was just unremarkable and quite plain for the style

 

A golden, amber beer with a little bit of a frothy head. The smell is fruit with some yeast and hop notes. As for the taste, it’s very flavorful with powerful citrus and hop flavors

 

 

 

 

 

One the boy brought back from a recent D.C. trip for me. Head retention was not that great. Smell was minimal. Medium amber in color. Nice hoppiness to it. I thought that it tastes great and was very pleased woth it despite what some might perceive to be flaws would buy again if it were available here.
