Pours a medium amber, minimal head. Smells vaguely of citrusy hops, more like a farmhouse ale; tart and pungent. Quite light bodied, not quite a DIPA. Lacking in malt body; hop flavor is pretty bland. 22 oz bottle lacks any date - tastes like it is 2-3 years old. Finish is quick and tart, slightly bitter. I would pass on this one...



Good IPA. Not the best but still worthy. Decent hop bitterness but the body could be better. After taste is slightly caustic but not bad. Overall better than average





Surprisingly easy drinking "double IPA." 9% so extra half star- but almost bland. I wouldn't say it's that hoppy





More malty/sweet than anything, not hoppy like the name suggests. Drinkable, but just very ok. Bottle, February 2013,



Really like this beer. Not as hoppy as the best but good blend of sweet malt and hops.



Thin body not deserving of the DIPA classification, a tartness in the beer further undermines any substantial malty body one might expect; most importantly, the very understated hop flavor leaves me feeling this could be a wild-fermented saison; what hop aroma there is is floral and quite pleasant, however. Overall an interesting brew, but in light of the fact that I purchased a DIPA, it was not what I was looking for.



Not as hoppy as the name makes it sound. It is delicious but is missing something. Twist cap may have something to do with it.
