Welcome back to my Happy New Summer in the Dark with a Beer in the City Sunday (Week 757)!
This Summer was time well spent here at Chez Woody, allowing me to winnow through the backlog & assemble lots of brewery horizontals for each week's NBS. For insCANce, this week's foray into Asbury Park, NJ's Dark City B.C., including this beer as a part of The CANQuest (tm).
From the CAN: "Double Dry Hopped India Pale Ale w/Citra & El Dorado"; "Unfiltered. Store Cold. Drink Fresh."
The Crack! of the vent was more of a blast-off as I was headed for the rack after this one. Why did they not use Galaxy hops? I was elated that we were back to unfiltered beer since it gave me the opportunity to choose between a slow, gentle C-Line Glug or a more aggro pour. I went with the former since I CAN always ramp it up later. It foamed nicely to form two-plus fingers of foamy, soapy, rocky, bone-white head that seemed determined to outrace me in falling to wisps. Color was a cloudy Straw-Yellow (SRM - > 2, < 4) that was closer to freshly-squeezed grapefruit juice. Nose was indicative of just what the doctor ordered! The Citra was, well, citrusy with loads of tangy lemon, grapefruit & even a little orange/tangerine, but the El Dorado was holding its own with an almost CANdy-like sweetness! OMFG. Mouthfeel was medium. The taste was VERY citrusy, very dry, quite tangy & literally eye-opening. Phew! This cleared up the sinuses right quick. My eyes watered in its intensity as the dead & dying taste buds ran for cover. Phew. This was just the sort of thing that I want in this style. No playing around, just a battering ram inna murph. Finish was dry and citrusy-juicy. Man, this was the end of my night, but what a wrap-up! My ongoing CANcern with these guys is their CANned beers' propensity to pooch up & explode if not babied & kept cold. It's like having nitroglycerin in the house! That said, I would not mind opening a cooler filled with this & Double Yellow if I were at the beach. YMMV.

Look - pale yellow and mostly opaque, with a soapy macro-ish head. Like many hop experiments on the east coast lately, this thing has plenty of sediment.
Smell- sugary, grainy no fruitiness coming through. But it is very pleasant, kinda smells like summer. Embers of coal at a barbecue, that's what I get.
Taste- its all very mild, tastes kind of like a wit, not bitter, not citrusy. Not enough of anything really.
Feel - medium heavy
Overall - not overly impressed
