Double Cease And Desist
Fillmore 13 Brewery

16 ounce prowler into tulip glass, filled on 3/10/2019. Pours fairly crystal clear medium orange/amber color with a 1 finger dense and rocky cream colored head with awesome retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big mandarin orange, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, blueberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, light peppercorn/pine, honey, caramel, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and dark/bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big mandarin orange, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, blueberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, light peppercorn/pine, honey, caramel, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of mandarin orange, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, blueberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, light peppercorn/pine, honey, caramel, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and dark/bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, and moderately creamy/bready/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Light lingering resins/rinds, and spicy alcohol through the glass. Mildly increasing warmth of 9%. Overall this is an awesome DIPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and dark/bready malt flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to drink for the ABV, with the mellowly bitter/drying finish, great soft feel. Fantastic Mosaic profile. Very juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hop complexity; with a great balanced dark/bready malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and spot on Midwest style example.
