3.8/5
AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 ounce bottle into tulip. Pours crystal clear orange-amber color with a fairly dense 2 finger off white head with great retention that reduces to a thin lacing cap. Some lacing is left on the glass. Aromas of big grapefruit, mango, caramel, pine, and pineapple. Nice aromas. Taste of big bread, caramel, orange and grapefruit up front; with a nice sized pine and citrus bitterness that shows up on the finish and lingers for a while. Decent balance of flavors here. Nice sized alcohol warming on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied. Nice an smooth drinkability for the alcohol level. Overall, this was a very nice DIPA, definitely enjoyable stuff.
Good stuff from Anderson Valley here. The taste was a little bit off in respect to what I like in DIPAs though.
