Upland Brewing Company, Inc., Bloomington, IN, Double Dragonfly Imperial IPA, Alc. 9.1 % by Vol., 1 Pint, 6 fluid ounces.
What's going on in this picture? Seems a tad suggestive, but who am I to judge?
Highly hazed amber/orange appearance. Creamy, long lasting head atop.
Aroma: tropical fruit, prickly pine, some citrus. Reveals some alcohol.
Taste: bitter bomb from the start. Fierce, harsh, and powerful. Alcohol comes roaring through. Grapefruit and pineapple, covered in pine cones and dunked in vodka. With each new sip, it only gets moreso.
Bitterness is all over the palate, body is medium. And slowly, it's toning down. Getting a little easier to take. Less aggressive. And tastier, too. The palate isn't being stomped on, and torn up.
All in all, though, I can't say I've enjoyed this one very much. Especially with the mess at the bottom of the bottle. Not too pleasant. Yucky.
