Beautiful golden west coast IPA. Strong hoppy smell and taste. Amazingly clean feel (not syrupy like many double IPA's).
Comparable to Bells Hop Slam!

First had Nervous Waters Big Smack IPA poured from 22-oz. bomber into nonic pint. This is a beautiful, big, but unsubtle and overly-complicated beer, which probably would have been better without the honey.

Pours a clear, copper color. One inch head of an off-white color. Great retention and great lacing. Smells of strong citrus hops, sweet malt, alcohol, hop resin, and a hint of floral hops. Fits the style of an American Double / Imperial IPA. Mouth feel is sharp and crisp, with a high carbonation level. Tastes of strong citrus hops, sweet malt, alcohol, hop resin, and a hint of floral hops. Overall, great appearance, decent aroma, body, and blend.

Pours cloudy orange with a white head. Good retention and lacing. Smells sweet with a bit of citrus. No alcohol detected.Fairly smooth with a hint of citrus and honey. Medium body. Nice hops finish, not bitter at all.The 9.3% alcohol is well hidden. This is my first from Chandeleur and I am anxious to try others.

Strong orange taste with a slow, muted bitter finish. Fairly crisp. Translucent burnt orange color. Decent lacing. Deceptively strong at 9.3% ABV. Another great beer from Chandeleur Brewing Company.
