Yes, it’s a double IPA, but not one that is going to knock you into next Tuesday due to hop overload. Don’t get me wrong, it is generously hopped, but with a focus on the nose. This is as close as you’re going to get to drinking a flower. Fused with a hint of earthy sweetness.

Just added this beer to this Next Glass owned database. Respect Next Glass! This was the first dipa of the Memorial Day/Week trip and 20th anniversary. You dig it the most.

Pours a malty amber appearance. Hard whoof where am I, England? I mean, it looks ok, but just not the appearance I want a dipa to look like in 2024. But wait, it gets worse. The aroma is not of hops. Might even be the d word. Ooof.

The taste and mouthfeel bring an awkward twang. Like trying to make baroque bluegrass or someshit, the twang is just off man. Like, I can get down with some all bittering hops kind of beers, but this isn't even all that. The commercial tug job about the aroma is just off base. Its got this light butterscotch like aroma and taste to it, not exactly what i was looking for in a dipa. Dusty butterscotch, hefty malt bill, only bittering hops, almost no smell or hop flavor to it. Did you leave the truck? Quick goat thinking, they superimposed me.

Definitely the worst beer of the day, maybe the whole week.
