Warpigs Chaos Monger Double India Pale Ale

Warpigs Chaos Monger Double India Pale Ale.

9.2 % ABV. 90 IBU. WarPigs Brewpub, ...Denmark? Indiana? This from the can: "Brewed and packaged under the supervision of Warpigs USA Brewing, Munster, IN, LLC at Summit Brewing Company, St. Paul, MN." 


Clear, dark amber hue, thin layer of cream-toned foam atop. 

In the nose: A. cornucopia of fruity expressions commands the olfactory. Berries and stone fruit, maybe a pinch of apple, dominate citrus and pine. Hoppiness abounds, malt matches mightily. 

In the mouth: Bitter kicks it off, juicy and bitter. Bitter hop display lays long on the palate, with a side of sweet. Citrus notes, a little pine, berries, and more. Juicy, with unrelenting bitterness. This is a tasty one. Alcohol pops up about a quarter of the way in, and the warm feelings commence. A very likable DIPA. Thoroughly yum a dum dum. 

The arduous road to hop enlightenment is wrought with chaos. Let the sentinel chaosmonger be your beacon to finding beer of character.
