Served in a Lagunitas mason jar.

The only good crooked tree is a bonsai... Anyway, this stuff pours a mostly clear sunset bronze topped by a finger of wan cream foam. The nose comprises lightly-tart grapefruit zest, toffee, pine resin, light earthy greens, and a mild pinch of mint. The taste brings in more of the same, though the pine is now the star of the show (though nowhere near the only one) and the grapefruit now favors the peel. he body is a light-leaning medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a dry finish. Overall, a very nice, decently-balanced IPA, one of the better regularly-offered IPAs out there if you ask me.

12 oz. bottle, no bottled on date present, just a code stamped on the side. Acquired as part of the Crooked Tree IPA variety pack deal. I have had this beer before, sometime last year, and I believe this is the second beer from Dark Horse Brewing Co. that I am reviewing on BeerAdvocate.

Poured into a Firestone Walker pint glass.

A - Pours a nice two and a half fingers of tall creamy fluffy off-white head. Body is a beautiful dark orange color with some brownish hues to it towards the center. Streams of bubbles rushing to the top, & tons of sediment twirling to the bottom. Excellent head retention. Scattered lacing, but not much.

S - Smell is of citric grapefruit / lemon rind hop character with some bready biscuit malts making themselves known as well. Slightly underwhelming aroma, but still hits it's mark.

T - Taste is of juicy blood orange, tangerine, tart bitter grapefruit, & a lovely fruity sweetness. Biscuit malt is present in the mix also, but this beer is ridiculously well balanced.

M - Feel is sweet, smooth, and clean in the finish. Surprisingly little bitterness lingering.

Overall, a well-crafted and delicious IPA, glad to have been able to land this fresh since there seems to be an over abundance of stale Crooked Tree hanging around a lot of the shops I frequent. An excellent IPA, one I would happily revisit, and I am definitely looking forward to trying it's variations.

Dark Horse Crooked Tree IPA ---4/5.

12 Oz bottle poured into a wine tasting glass

Appearance: Much darker than I had expected hearing that this was a west coast style IPA. Formed a nice bubly head which which slowly fell to be about a 1/8" ring around the glass

Smell: The immediate smell upon first opening the cold beer was floral hops. Slowly as it warmed, pine became evident as well as citrus aromas and the floral component fell into the background. As it warmed even more, the malt elements became expressed and I was reminded of a three floyds malt character with a grapefruit hop aroma somewhere beneath.

Taste: The taste is similar to the nose except that I am not able to get the floral character on the palate. It is fairly dry, with a slight sweet character that may be ethanol related. Strong bitter component, more than I was expecting from the ABV. I can notice some alcohol heat/sweetness as it warms which is unexpected at this relatively low abv.

Mouthfeel: Nice mouthfeel, but to me it may have a slight excess of carbonation. Puts a nice coat on the mouth but I would not consider this overly sticky.

Overall: Very solid IPA that reminds me of a cross between a three floyds pale and a classic west coast IPA. Neat mix with a little floral character as well. Would never turn this away, but won't go out of my way to get more of it.

Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into an over-sized wine glass. Julian dating: 106-13 (April 16, 2013). Imbibed on 05/10/2013
Purchased the 420 IPA variety 12 pack from Dark Horse. Favorite out of the pack!
A beautiful orange, cloudy, full bodied looking beer. A finger's worth of head formed dissipated a little quickly, left great lacing.
Smells of tangerines, oranges, tropical fruits, a little pine.
Nice bitterness on the tongue, with a malty sweetness. Leaves a nice lingering hop taste in the mouth well after the swallow. Makes you want to go back for more and more. Not overly carbonated.
Definitely a beer I will be looking for again! Really enjoyed it and at 6.5% you can have a few!

12oz bottle in Sam Adams glass
no date

A: Dark copper color with a relatively thin white/tan head.
S: Muted nose, hints of pine, a little bit of sweetness, not a lot else.
T: Sharp pine with some citrus, i.e. classic American hops. A solid malt backbone, a little caramel malt and maybe victory or munich malt, doesn't appear to be just 2-row malt.
M: Crisp, but not at all thin, slightly higher level of carbonation than I expect for the style, but not unreasonable or unpleasant.
O: This is a kickass IPA, a definite in-your-face bitterness without approaching the tongue-raping that some brewers seem to be aiming for with their IPAs. I really like that there is some malt character to go along with the hops. Highly recommended.

Wow - this poured a very dense fog of murky orange. I don't remember seeing that in an IPA offering before - a haze yes - but this is opaque. Quite common to see in Belgian Ales. In a blind taste I would have guessed an IPA based on the aroma and flavor but the mouthfeel would have caused me hesitation; it is thick for an IPA and thus one might want to favor a highly hopped Belgian Ale except that it lacks the style accents of sour/sweet notes of a BA.

A = thick head, very dense haze
S = citrus fruits
T = lighter than mouthfeel, sharp citrus
M = quite thick for an IPA
O = I am accustomed to my IPA's having a lighter weight so this beer throws my expectations off. The flavor and aroma is dead on, so don't get me wrong! I am noting that seasoned (or inebriated) reviewers are giving this high marks because they like this twist. I could easily come to highly favor IPA heavy weights. I'd like to introduce this beer to my friends who favor BA's of IPA's and see what they think. And I'd like a Black IPA to carry this weight. I'll have it again.

a murky orange pour with a finger of head. a terrible looking beer, but i know it's gonna get so much better right about.... the smell is of grapefruit, lots of floral/citrus, pineapple, honey. the taste is much like the aroma it gave off.. along with a bready backbone. nice and hoppy but not much bitterness aside from a light earthy hoppy kick in the end. medium body with low carbonation.

a pretty solid ipa. i like that the beer looks so bad, it makes everything else that much better.

look: 3.5 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3

A: Dark carrot orange is dense visibility wise with a dirty white head that was soapy, patchy, thin in depth and short on hold time retention. Strong indication of macro-bubble carbonation bubles.

S: The nose is of creamy oranges, with some earthy green shrubs. The bitterness level is very low, not alot to get out of here, disappointing, and moot.

T: Flavor is grassy-oragnes with only a moderate detectin level of bitterness though not really distinguishable in character, a homegenous soup of citrus if you will. Some piney aspect with a dry finish of grains and and a touch of dry sour lemon, that again is hardly stand out worthy.

M: Good level of carbonation, creamy and vibrant feel on the tongue with a dry piney-grass and alkaline like finish.

O: Overall an otherwise ordinary and average ipa that holds little surprise, excitiment nor reason for another. Hop ibus are low and disappointing as well complexity making for a boring drink.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 3.75

12oz bottle poured into 22oz bar glass directly from fridge.

A: Medium golden orange. Two finger head with good retention. Lots of suspended bits floating around.

S: Hoppy. Bright fruit aromas, citrusy with a suggestion of banana.

T: It's definitely well balanced, but no "wow" factor. There's nothing bad about the taste, but nothing jumps out at me. The best I can say is it's very drinkable, I could easily put down a six pack without getting sick of it. Despite it's amazing reputation, I won't be jumping at the opportunity to buy this again, especially at the price point.

M: Carbonation is "sizzly". After swallowing my mouth feels juicy and ready for another sip. Very pleasant and appropriate for the style. I like IPA's to have aggressive carbonation to accent the hop flavors and this does it.

O: This is an above average beer, but to me, it's not "great". I like IPA's to have more attack and resiny hop flavors. If you like your IPA's to have a more rounded flavor than this might be the one for you.

On draft at TJ Finley's, Bayshore, NY.

Poured a hazy dark brassy hue with a one finger frothy white head. There was good retention and sticky lacing.

The smell featured round malts with tropical fruit and herbal hops.

The taste consisted of subtly sweet malts, apricot, and a bit of pepper.

The mouthfeel was full for the style and a touch creamy with a lingering pepper.

Overall a well balanced IPA.

A: A cloudy orange color, almost tan, left a nice two finger of off white head at the top, with a good amount of lacing around the glass.

S: Lots of floral and citrus notes with a bready backbone on the nose.

T: This brew was very bready for an IPA, up front some bitterness with floral and tropical fruit throughout.

M: light to medium bodied, a good amount of carbonation somewhat of a dry finish.

O: I visited this brewery on 4/6/13, was a very cool atmosphere and was very impressed with the beer selection, this was a good IPA.

This is a really good IPA. I bought a 1/6 keg off of a recommendation and I was rather surprised. First pull revealed a nice creamy head, not to thick but a nice lacing on the glass. ( I use the Sam Adams tech glasses for first time hoppy beers) First whiff of the beer was very subtle but could catch hoppy and biscuity notes. Appearance is orange in color and a little cloudy at first but cleared up a few pulls. Taste leaves a nice hoppy presence and rounds out with just enough malt but still keeping it dry. No crystal malt here. Good dry finish with the hops shining through especially for an average ABV. IPA. Mouth feel is a little thin but that is okay because it is not a imperial or double IPA. Overall a great beer and will be looking forward to buying this beer again!

Gorgeous orange/ruby coloring that held a bright fluffy head. Decent retention and limited lacing.

The aroma is limited with light malt and grain. Slight hop scent there is a little bread or cracker.

The taste is well balanced between malt and hops and it gives a more Pale Ale flavor. Very little citrus or floral hop flavor it felt more like a 60 Minute clone. That's not a bad thing as the feel is smooth and easy with little to no aftertaste.

Welcome to DC, Dark Horse!

Served in a Port City tulip.

A: Poured a ridiculously hazy, copper color, with tons of little yeasties floating around. Sticky off-white head.

S: Nice smell of fresh linen and grapefruit. Not too piney, but just enough to be dangerous.

T: Very balance.... Not a West Coast-style hop bomb in any shape or form. Very bitter disposition on the front, middle, and back end. Quite tasty.

M: Totally a bitter pill, through and through, with ridiculous lacing, and quite the caramel sweet character to boot.

O: I've always dug the Double Crooked Tree but I had never actually tried this one. Well done.

My dad brought me a few of these back from a trip to Michigan. Bottled on date of 1/24/13, so bordering on the edge of old. Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into my 7venth Sun tulip glass.

A - Pours a deep, cloudy orange-ish red with two fingers of pillowy tan head. The head looks extremely delicate, like if I blew on it that it would float away. Superb lacing.

S - Suprisingly hoppy for three months old, with plenty of orange & grapefruit aroma. Hop character is definitely of the citrus & fruit variety. A bit of caramelized malt for balance.

T - A big hit of citrus hops is immediately joined by a sweetness of malt. Caramelized orange is my best description. I can see how a fresh bottle would really allow the hops to shine in this one.

M - Medium bodied, with a good amount of carbonation. Leaves a sweet finish in the mouth that is exceedingly drinkable.

O - Very solid IPA and I look forward to trying this fresh. I think it would also be interesting to try the versions of this beer that are made with different hops.

64oz clear growler poured into a Dark Horse Pint glass. Filled on 3/27, opened on 3/28.

The beer pours a murky copper color, very hazy with just a few visible bubbles rising to the top of the glass. An aggressive pour yields a good 2, almost 3 fingers of white head that has nice retention and good lacing. The aroma is of bitter, earthy pine and resinous hop oil, very grassy and dirty with a fair amount of caramel malt behind it, but not overly sweet, but very one dimensionally bitter. The flavors are right in line with the nose, very earthy, very dirty, bitter, grassy, weedy and pine forward. There is some caramel malt character hiding behind the hops, but the balance and integration is average at best. The body is nice, very smooth with a nice level of lively carbonation with a moderately dry, bitter finish.

Verdict: A decent IPA from Dark Horse but nothing special. The intensely bitter and earthy character is contrary to what I typically look for in an IPA or DIPA. Not to say this wasn't enjoyable or a task to drink, but it's a beer I don't really need to have again.

12oz bottle, date is missing but was told it was from January of 2013. Served at around 40-45F.

Pours extremely turbid, murky amber with a one finger head that leaves some rings of lacing behind. Normally, I like my IPAs with some sediment but this one goes too far...looks more like some amateur homebrew...wayyy too much sediment in this one.

Aroma is some orange and grapefruit citrus, some pine, a little floral with some bready malt. Mild to moderate strength. A little weak in the aroma.

Flavor is grapefruit rind, pine, some lemon, some bread and caramel malt in the middle, finishes with strong bitterness and a touch of alcohol.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied with good carbonation.

OK IPA. Flavor is pretty good, appearance and aroma are weak. Still glad to get a chance to try this out-of-market beer.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

Appearance: Pours a slightly hazed honey brown with some dark gold. Head is Polish, white, and creamy. Leaves a small clumsy cap and collar with some nice sheets and notches of lacing.

Smell: Oily pine resin, candied flower petals, and enough grapefruit to last. Fleshy citrus dominates at first. Gives way to a slightly sweet caramel malt with a solid biscuit backbone. Some minor tropical aromas, something like pineapple and mango. Warming balances things out a bit, bringing out a solid backing bitterness.

Taste: Pine resin. Slick and oily. Some pithy bitterness. Nice caramel and biscuit back. Surprisingly balanced. Juicy grapefruit with some tangerine oil. Almost powdery aspirin like bitterness floats through the back. Some apple skin. Wet and increasingly bitter as it warms. Some residual cooked malt sweetness. Bready pine needle. Nice smack of floral as well.

Mouthfeel: Juicy, slick, and smooth. Mediumish body with a moderate carbonation. Finishes with a lingering bitter dryness.

Overall: You're going down Shere Khan!

A solid, albeit not stellar IPA. Needed to be a touch more dry to really shine. Solid hop profile, but just feels a little unfinished. Still worth drinking from time to time.

3.65/5  rDev -8.5%
look: 2.75 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75

Appearance: Super cloudy and completely opaque orange hue with visible sediment. One finger frothy off-white head. Just about the dirtiest looking IPA I've seen.

Aroma: Floral and citrus. Not too much there. Some crystal malt as well.

Taste: Starts with a blast of bitterness that persists throughout. Very hop forward as the malt is barely present giving it a bit of a watery demeanor. The hop character is good though, pine and citrus flavor that is detectible despite the sometimes harsh bitterness. 6.5% ABV almost seems heavy for how light this beer seems on malt flavor (there is a hint of caramel though).

Mouthfeel: Between thin and medium in body with above average carbonation and good drinkability.

Final Thoughts: I consider myself a connoisseur of IPAs and while Crooked Tree is able to scratch the hophead itch in me, it doesn't elicit any of the real good hop flavor and balance that others of the style can deliver. That being said, I'd recommend it if you can find it. Would I drink it again? Sure.

look: 2.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5

12 oz bottle into a nonic pint glass.

A: Pours a murky copper color with TONS of yeast sediment in the glass. The head is a one finger offwhite shade. There's a good creaminess to the texture, even if it fades moderately quickly. Still, it's not exactly an attractive beer.

S: This has a pervasive biscuit quality to the aroma; it melds reasonably well with the textbook grapefruit peel and pine qualities from the hops. The maltiness is sweet and caramel-esque, like I expect. Typical, but I really like how strongly the aroma emanates from the glass.

T: The biscuit from the aroma subsides a bit, being supplanted by some initial grapefruit qualities. Still, this is one of the most biscuity IPAs I've ever had. Pine bitterness pops up in the midtaste before seemingly washing away on the finish. No one note here really stands out from the pack - however, it compensates by coming across as a great thirst quencher with a modicum of complexity.

M: While the body isn't lightweight, it manages to drink crisply anyways. Astringency is balanced well, with only a moderate bitterness accumulating on the palate. Carbonation is high yet controlled in order to preserve the refreshment qualities this provides.

O: I reckon this one would really work during the summertime - in some ways, this drinks like a saison. There are better IPAs to be found, but there are also many worse ones as well.

Thanks to Docrock for this extra!

12 fl oz brown glass bottle served in a goblet, reviewed live:

A - Pours a finger and a half of just off-white, thin head. The color is a murky tangerine/orange. Retention is poor. Lively carbonation. Inviting.

S - Blood orange and pine needles alongside biscuity yeast. Spicy lemon zest on the back end. Balanced extremely well on the nose. Touches of honey. Note entirely complex but refreshing. Moderate strength.

T - Slightly sweet malts open over a light bicuity/cracker body. The fresh hops notes I found on the nose are muted and stale. A good amount of bitterness on the finish. It's well balanced but I wonder if this may be an old bottle (there's no bottle date I can find). It's easy drinking and the alcohol's nowhere to be found, but I wish the hops were fresher and more prominent.

M - Crisp and medium bodied. Well carbonated. Ideal.

D - I'm a little let down by this one, especially being my first Dark Horse beer. I'd like to try it again, though preferably on draught (and fresh).

Was excited to try this beer given it's high BA score, but I was so disappointed. The appearance and mouthfeel were average. The smell was musky, earthy, with some hay and straw notes. The taste was similar, with a lot of bitter citrus as well. I consider myself quite a "hophead," but this was far to bitter and unbalanced for me.

look: 4.25 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.75

Appearance - Pours a murky tangerine with golden highlights, head is a finger thick with good lacing and retention. Seeing as this beer is intentionally unfiltered it doesn't make sense to dock points for its lack of clarity which under normal circumstanced would be only complaint about the appearance. Looks good!

Aroma- Dank and earthy hops upfront followed by a backbone of citrus, some phenolic yeasty aromas towards the back and a sweet blanket of crystal malt forms a consistent undercurrent.

Taste-Bitter and citrusy upfront with flavors of tangerine and other citrus fruits, some earthiness and marmalade like sweetness towards the middle. Finishes dry with a yeasty bite.

Mouthfeel- A bit on the thick side for an IPA, but it works to this beer's advantage rather than its detriment. Carbonation is gentle and on the low side.

Overall - One of the most drinkable and unique IPAs I've had in some time, replaced Flower Power as my go to IPA.

look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75

Appearance: Pours a golden/orange with some caramel hues…a nice finger width of off white head formed and remained…fairly dense and not overly transparent, I can see some bubble action and a few pieces of sediment floating about…(3.75/5)

Smell: Spicy, earthy, musty hops combined with mild citrus hops notes…very robust hops aroma…mango, bready malts, caramel, sweet yellow cake, grapefruit round out things…there’s an overly light and zestiness here…(4/5)

Taste: Much like the nose…earthy, musty hops mixed with mild lemon/grapefruit/orange citrus hops…much more earthy than citrus, but the citrus flavor definitely rounds out the edges a bit and provides a crispness that wouldn’t otherwise be there…some rye spice flavor as well...fairly straight forward, hops dominant with a touch of caramel (not overly sweet) malts…as it warms, the lightness from the citrus flavor becomes more apparent…(4/5)

Mouthfeel: Medium body with tons of carbonation…fluffs up presenting tons of hops citrus and bitterness…really leaves an earthy feel all over my palate…wet and crisp, there’s a dryness in the finish that I like…earthy hops bitterness settles in the after taste…standard I would say for an IPA…(3.75/5)

Overall: This brew didn’t “wow” me, but it is good and very drinkable…the flavor is full, somewhat robust and is easily something I could drink a couple of in one sitting…a great beer to have around the house for after work, not overly complex but hardy and tough enough to smooth out the edges of the day…a simple review for a simply good brew…(3.75/5)
