Best by 9.23

Poured into a willi glass at fridge temp

Pours a brassy and dark copper with a full creamy and fluffy head. 4.25

I get some sweet and ripe pineapple on the nose as well as some mixed florals. 4.25

Taste starts out tropical with some light sweetness to it, moves on to bitter pine and associated florals, though I think it balanced out nicely as I kept sipping. 4.25

Body has a moderate heft, carbo is the same and has lingering pine and florals resins. 4

Overall a very good DIPA that got better and was interesting and dynamic as I imbibed over a half hour and enjoyed the whole time. 4.25

 

With a clear coppery appearance, a very hoppy aroma and the taste of hops hitting you from start to finish, this is a great DIPA for sipping on an relaxing evening.

 

 

 

 

This is good....can't tell you exactly why but me likey!

Pours a clear gold. Thin foam. Fruity aroma. Juicy hop body. Light bitterness. Juicy sweet malt finish. Great flavor. Excellent DIPA.

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of my favorites! Yummy!

Golden, foggy body. Lacy head. Smell is pine, pineapple, moderately sweet, slightly floral and lemony. Taste is tropical fruit, mango and pineapple, dank pine, more floral notes, honey, and lemon. Pretty nice balance between the pine and the tropical sweetness, with a nice malty finish. The bottle has a BB date of feb 4, so maybe it’s not as crisp as a fresh one. Still, really a good beer.

 

 

Appearance: Crystal clear amber-gold, large white head, good lacing.
Aroma: Pilsner malt underpinning supports the fruity, resinous hops that follow.
Taste: Flip flops the order noted in the aroma. Hops more dominant, flush with pine and tropical fruit.
Mouthfeel: Finishes with enough maltiness to keep things interesting and refreshing while still hop-centric.
Overall: Lingering and lasting, well carbonated, full bodied.

Great imperial IPA

Rich orange color, decent head, strongly alcoholic, sweet malt base and - most importantly to me - an earthy, piney rush of flavor that balances out and eventually overwhelms the citrus and floral tastes that I find so unappealing in all but the very best IPAs.
I understand why many who appreciate the hazy and flowery side of aledom don't like it much, but it's just up my alley and is my go-to on weekend afternoons when I have no responsibilities.

Bottle pour - deep golden honey color with thick white head leaving significant foamy/frosty lacing. Nose is earthy and floral with hints of citrus and pine. Taste follows with a malty backbone and lingering bitterness on a dryish finish.

Another boring beer masquerading as an IPA. Flavorful, but not with hops. Not bitter, smooth, but ultimately unsatisfying and difficult to identify its ingredients. I don't get the hype.

 

I've had this one several times over the years and enjoy the first few sips, but eventually feel like it's all bitter hops without much else going for it. Maybe just not my style of beer.

 

 

Color clear amber
Scent piney and grapefruit orange
Tastes a good mixture of bitterness and fruit. Don’t see this as world class but more as excellent. I like Doubles that have more fruit forward than this. One of my favorites is golden monkey

 

355 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 8.7%. Golden colour, slightly hazy. Moderate white head. Hoppy aroma, notes of pine and spruce, hints of citrus and caramel. Distinctly hoppy flavour, piney and resinous notes, also grapefruit. Very bitter finish, but also very moreish and drinkable for its strength.

 

Hoppy tones and smooth Carmel aftertaste that lingers on tongue. Fantastic

 

 

L: pale straw yellow. Very bright and inviting
S: very herbal with a nice pine presence.
T: perfectly executed. Pine and citrus, with an earthy background. Phenomenal.
F: medium body. Pretty light
O: I don’t know what category this DIPA would fall in but it is in a class by itself. Most unique and unmistakable taste you will find

 

Th beer is a pale straw color but with a decent white head. It is clear. On the nose, rose notes and bitter herbal notes are present. Maybe its the label art, but it smells like a pine forest. On the palate , it is nice a bitter. the same hops notes from before are present but with citrus as well. The malt is there an similar to white beard with some whole wheat flour mixed in. The hops dominate the taste though expect for the finish but before the aftertaste. The mouthfeel is foamy but the body isn't great. The bubbles aren't pointed. Overall, a good well hoped IPA.
