Every insurgency needs a strong leader to plot, scheme, and rally the subverted to rise up and fight the status quo. The craft beer guerillas found their leader in General Resin, a ruthless, take no prisoners, lupulin crazed mercenary, battling against the bland leaders of Domestican. This copper-orange hued, heavily hopped beer, laces your tongue with sticky resinous hop flavor - citrus, pineapple, mango, and tropical fruit. A reserved malt sweetness stalks in the background. General Resin is the super villain to the beer establishment and hero to hop heads. Which side are you on?

Dark amber orange, thin skim that breaks with minimal lace.
Aroma is sweet with a muddled dank tropical fruit note, sweet pineapple juice and caramel malt.
Really sweet and malt forward, some pineapple around the edges. Full bodied and sticky sweet with ok carbonation.This a decent effort, but too much caramel malt and sticky sweetness for my taste.

Served from tap in a snifter at Duke's.
Grabbing a quick bite to eat before heading back home, some might as well knock out a Scorched Earth DIPA, right? It pours a clear midnight sienna topped by a finger of light khaki foam. The nose comprises red wine grapes and light caramel. A few flashes of ruby red grapefruit hit the nose as well. The taste brings in more of the same, the grapefruit coming through more clearly now. The body is a straight medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a fluid feel. Overall, a pretty solid DIPA, nothing necessarily special, but it works with these here fries, lemme tell ya.
