Hugely hazed, dull orange coloring, sizable ivory head, leaving lace.
In the nose: citrus & tropical tones, floral, piney, with plenty of yeasty notes, too.
In the mouth: Bright citrus and tropical flavors pounce on the palate, hovering over the lush malt and yeast flavors. Smooth and balanced, easy-going, ultra-drinkable. A great blend of complexities abound. Low bitterness. But some parts are just not meshing. There's a clash, just below the harmony.
I'm not crazy about this one. It's a bit of a mess, too many competing flavors that don't quite gel, but it's still tasty and consumable. I've enjoyed this 4-pack, but I don't think I'll return to it too quickly. Just isn't my favorite iteration of IPA, double or otherwise. They can't all be favorites.
The gift you didn't know you needed. A double IPA brewed with MN grown malted barley and wheat from Vertical Malt Company. All bundled up with hallertau blanc and nelson sauvin hops.
