Double IPA with citrusy hops. Leaves a lingering bitterness with just the right balance of malts to disguise the extra gravity.

12 oz. Can, 10 weeks before “best by” date.
Clear amber, slight head, minimal lacing.
Aroma is faint, nothing stands out.
Taste is a fine blend of slight tropical hops, nothing stands out. Mouthfeel is effervescent, tangy. Overall, very drinkable, would buy again.

I'm a sucker for a double IPA and this one is solid. Not my favorite 2x IPA I've ever had but probably mis-pack. Malt forward but would like a little more bite. Nice hop after taste. Not much head all things considered. Smells great. Would crush again.

What I like most about this IPA is it's dry mouthfeel. It doesn't overdo the whole double IPA thing to overwhelm you.

Appearance: Crystal clear light honey color, with a big and fluffy off white head. Spotty lacing. Pretty beer.
Smell: Fresh orange, bit of pine, slightly herbal and floral. Not a strong smelling beer, but it smells nice.
Taste: Sweet and bitter. Citrus, mainly with a bit of orange. More of a candied orange than fresh, not artificial though. Good dose of pine in there followed by a lasting bitterness. Malt is straight forward, borderline syrupy and throws some white bread flavor into the mix. Alcohol comes through loud and clear in the taste. Boozy finish.
Feel: Medium bodied, light carbonation, a little syrupy but still dry. All of that 8.2% can be felt.
Overall: A brash, boozy and enjoyable double IPA.

This beer has a clear orange appearance & a thick off-white head. The aroma is of citrus. The body is medium-full. Tastes are of grapefruit and orange.
The high (8%) ABV is well-hidden.

This is a great tasting and great smelling Double IPA with a surprisingly light body. It almosts tastes like a Belgian Tripel that was hopped like an American Double IPA. It deserves the outstanding rating.

Copper color with thick sticky head. Pine aroma. Citrus and tropical hop flavors. Balanced well with crisp mouthfeel. Overall a good representation of the style.
