4.3/5
AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
22 ounce bottle into tulip, no idea on freshness. Pours hazy amber color with a huge dense 3 finger off white head with amazing retention that reduces to a lacing cap that lasts for the entire glass. Some good lacing on the glass as well. Aromas of orange, grapefruit, mango; with a bit of caramel and pine. Fairly strong and well balanced aromas. Taste of strong orange, pine, and grapefruit; with a bit of caramel, mango, and spiciness as well. Starts off sweet tasting on the front with a strong bitterness on the finish that lingers with citrus and pine flavors. Very smooth drinking and very well balanced with sweetness and bitterness as well. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied. No alcohol detected in taste or finish. Overall a fantastic DIPA and I would love to try this fresher.
A great Double IPA from Alesmith. I would like to have this one fresh sometime, I am not sure when it is released.
