This beer is Bristol’s Edge City Double IPA aged one year in French oak barrels and dry hopped substancially every month. Sorry you two (Aubrey and Brian) but you clearly didn’t spend enough time with this masterpiece at the festival. This is the proper way to oak age an IIPA. Draught @ Bristol Brewing Company. Unfiltered murky orange in color. Huge, bursting nose of oak (cocunut, vanilla, wood) and hops (lemon, pine, flowers), coming together to create pure bliss in between the nostrils. In the flavor, this truly did capture the essence of the barrel, possessing a huge contribution along with an onslaught of juicy hops. Thick, coating texture. Damn, Bristol can brew.

Now what I have in front of me is a label that says: Bristol's EDGE CITY double IPA. I assume this is the bottled version.
Perfectly clear, perfectly amber with a medium size froth that sizzles down without forming a meringue, but it lasts forever.
Smells like a barrel of ripe apples with some stanky ones in the bottom. Also a crate of ripe tangerines. And mangoes.
This tastes of beautiful bruised fruits in a dark green, dank hop syrup. The hops don't kill, but pepper each bite, and put a squeeze of orange, lime.... Very balanced, mucho gusto yumyum delicioso succulent. The burps were outstanding. I need to hold this up to Hercules side-by-side, but it's outstanding in everyway.
