EOD Double IPA
Ordnance Brewing

Draft at Ten Pin Brewery taproom. Medium golden, haxy, small tight head, curtains of lacing. Dank, hoppy nose. Taste concentrates on the hops, dank and herbal, floral. Dry chalky finish. Very hoppy.

 

22 oz bottle purchased from Trader Joe in Salem OR.
$4.79
Slightly hazy darker orange colour with handsome looking creamy thick white head.
Spicy, piney ..lemon zest hop aromas. Slight herbal aspect..and balanced by a thick toffee like malt.
Taste similar but getting seville marmalade orange taste..that balances well with a rather chewy caramel malt..but the zesty hop wins out in the end.
Nice well carbonated and fresh mouth feel.
A cool DIPA

 

 

Listed as a "Double (or Imperial) IPA" , yet it is below the generally accepted 8% ABV cut-off point for the style. 12 oz can poured into shaker pint. Poured a slightly-hazy gold-copper color with over 2 inches of barely off-white head (partially caused by an accidentally over-eager pour, partly because this was a very lively beer) that had good retention and lacing.

Piney hops were at the front of the aroma, with a nice malt base, and some citrus hops on the finish.

Nearly identical on the tongue, with the citrus hop finish taking the lead role.

The body was solid, without being heavy, and had a mostly dry finish.

Drinkability was good, I won't have an issue killing the sixer. Overall, a solid enough brew, although I suggest approaching it as a regular IPA, and not an Imp. Worth trying if you see it.

Very hazy dark golden with two fingers of bone color head. Rings of lace form as the head drops.
Smell is dank and tropical fruit.
Taste is dank bitter with good malt support. A bit of grapefruit zest comes along later.
Mouthfeel is medium with good carbonation. The finish is dry and bitter.
Overall a tasty DIPA. Not as malty as most of this style. Canned on 8/13/2017. About six months old.

 

 

Poured into cold glass from a can.
Appearance: Moderately cloudy, classic lighter orange color, very little head, looks refreshing and inviting.
Smell: Strong hop aroma, mild malts, very floral. Slight biscuit maybe? Very appealing smell.
Taste: Strong floral hop presence, some malts, slight alcohol taste, balanced and refreshing.
Feel: Light-bodied but mildly aggressive and very carbonated, maybe slightly too much carbonation.
Overall: A tasty, refreshing and easy-drinking double IPA. Definitely on the lighter side of DIPA's and at 7.8% ABV it's nothing crazy. Overall a great beer.

Modest white foam on the amber brew in the snifter. Aroma of passion fruit and orange peel. A lighter body with plenty of malt. Rich and tangy at the same time. Brewer says it's made with Mount Hood and Columbus hops which apparently they grow themselves. It's rated at 80 IBUs.

Pleasantly warm with some alcohol to light up the malt. Moderate bitter aftertaste. Quite pleasant for sipping. From the 12 oz can purchased at Elizabeth Station in Bellingham, Wash.
