2015 Blind I/IPA Taste Testing

My mom warned me about beers that are loose on the first round.

 

Deep River (2nd batch) is delicious! you can see its relationship to Citra in aroma and flavor.

Had some during Super Bowl and I'm not surprised it came out on top.

 

I've been telling people how amazing Deep River is (NY got kegs of the first batch, no carbonation issues), pretty cool to see it win.

 

Sounds like an awesome night-can't wait to see the results! Now where is my invitation?.....

 

Great tasting! Sounds like it was a blast. I'm baffled how Rampage faired so well but that's what these are all about. Pleasant surprises & good times with friends.

Cheers!

 

Thanks for sharing @smanrob - was hoping for a better showing from the PA/NJ beers, but pleased to see Shape of Hops to Come placed well. Looking forward to the Knee Deep!

 

Sounds like fun but I would certainly take all this with a grain of salt. SoHtC is months old and I bet the 077xx isn't too fresh either (freshies have been off shelves for a few weeks here in NJ) and falls off fast for some reason. Like you mentioned, palate is certainly wrecked after about 3 DIPAs. Nonetheless, seems like a good time and lineup.
