It's just been a long week at work so I really think opening this bomber of Lawson's is worth it. I had this on tap at black backs pub in December but I never got the chance to review.

A- kiwi double ipa pours a gorgeous amber body with a hearty head of slighty darkened white foam that bursts all over my hill farmstead stem. Hazy and glowing with a strong amber color that reminds me of Vermont DIPA'S like Abner and such

S- Herbal, citric, and maybe garlic theme? A fruity fresh mango presence almost chimes in with some sweet caramel tones. Very lively with active scents as one would expect from Lawson's. There is no question that it makes my mouth slightly water

T- strong resin, onion, and darkened citric flavor that is unyielding with a flavor coating outlay. A burst of herbal and caramel flavor follows over as a "second coat" of hoppy Vermont flavor. I like it, as it's not the always expected citrus and spikey pineapple hop hit. A little more in the hop body if you will

M- coating hop flavor that finishes off the palate. The paint job is done!

O- what a change up for a VT DIPA! Massive hearty, deep resionious flavor impersonating a garlic, caramel, and fruity citric hop profile. I loved this and will seek out more going forward!

I was very excited to try this one, received via trade with brikelly.

It pours a darker than I expected light caramel color with an odd soapy head. So soapy I wondered if my glass was dirty so I poured the rest of the beer into another glass, it was just the beer.

The aroma was caramel malt, citric hops, some tropical notes. Fairly muted considering the style and hop varieties. Sweet orange and candy aromas are faint.

The flavor is very good. Zesty hop character. Bitter but never over the top. Drying alcohol and a bitter finish are excellent. A unique beer. The malt provides a solid showcase for the herbal, spicy, tropical hop profile but provide little sweetness. The aroma had me worried that this would be a maltier beer. It's a DIPA experience like I've never had before. I keep coming back to the word zesty. Tickles the tongue. Really unique.

The mouthfeel was thinner than I usually like and the carbonation was lower than I like but hey, the flavor is excellent and it makes this beer insanely drinkable. Good stuff.

650 mL bottle poured into a snifter.

Appearance - Nice head on an orange body. Mostly clear and good lacing. Leggy as it swirls.

Smell - Grassy and herbal as most Lawson's IPAs tend to be. Much more grassy than others, even Jade. Grapefruit behind it and a slight grain.

Taste - Sweetness from the malt balances the grassy flavor very nicely. Enhances the citrus character. Interesting dichotomy to the hop flavors. Grassier in the finish and only slightly bitter.

Mouthfeel - Nice slick mouthfeel. Perfect amount of sweetness. Medium carbonation.

Overall - As always, a great IPA from Lawson's. Always an interesting hop profile. Never pure citrus or pine.

A - pours a crystal clear pale gold. Almost a perfect mixture of yellow and orange. Maybe a fingers worth of fizzy white foam sits on top. Thins out to a film very quickly.

S - nose is remincient to a thicket of pine needles. Woody, floral, and resinous notes add to the earthiness. There is a slight vegetal note sort of like a chili pepper? And of course lots of grapefruit rind and orange pulp.

T - crisp dough and sweet honey malt profile. Bright fruity hops with lots of citrus flavors and bitterness as well as a soft white grape flavor and zesty lemon pith. Finish is earthy with a lingering pine needle character and a touch of citric bitterness.

M - lighter side of medium bodied. Medium fizzy carbonation.

O - interesting beer. Definitely a different kind of IPA.

I love me some Kiwi hops, and I know Lawson's will do it justice, so I've been dying to try this beer. Thanks Pemmet!

Pours into my Hill farmstead stepped tulip, a nice delicate fluffy and creamy looking 1/2 finger head that fades fairly slowly, nice lacing, super hazy nectar orange colored beer.

Nose was wafting out as soon as I popped the cap, great kiwi hops, little tropical almost, grassy and earthy mostly, with a touch of a lemony straw, and a bit of a musty aroma. Under that is a hint of a nice malty sweet aroma, hint almost grainy, fluffy, barely there but enough to support the hops it seems.

Taste starts again with the kiwi hops, nice grassy and a bit earthy, of the terroir, quite juicy with a nice citrus slightly tropical, and musty resinous like fresh wet hops, quite nice. Fluffy slightly sweet malt in the middle, with a hint of booze, and enough to give the beer a nice backbone, hint of caramel and toasty, and a nice carbonation to fill it. The hops get a bit grassy and a light lemony hay but not much, juicy fresh hops really take teh show. A decent bitterness throughout, not overly bitter but definitely lets you know it's there. Finish is drier, nice big bitterness ramps up a bit as it dries, plenty of lingering kiwi hops, light musty resin fresh hops, and a bit more citrus and tropical fruit juice.

Mouth is nice too, super fluffy carbonation and decent med bodied, slightest hint of booze so the beer has a big feel to it overall.

Overall very nice, as I was expecting. Showcases the kiwi hops very well, very tasty and drinkable, despite 8% it goes down very smooth, with nice malt base to prop up the hops, good bitterness enough to let you know it's a nice big IPA, but not overpowering. Well done!

22 oz bottle courtesy of Kyle. Thank you very much for the Lawson's trifecta Kyle!

Lightly hazed golden yellow with some stringy lace.

Resinous, earthy, and nutty. A bit brighter than the Jade that was consumed just prior.

Nelson hops serve as a nice introductory hop here. Where the Jade's green onions were the evening's mc in the Jade IPA, they play second fiddle here. Evergreen and pineapple bat lead off and move into the green onion finish of the Jade. Where the previous beer was a bit one dimensional, the combination of hops here plays well. The brighter Nelson hops really serve to soften the blow of the aggressive Jade and the hops really do transition rather abruptly. You can easily determine where the Nelson hops seem to come to a crashing halt and the Jade pick up the slack.

Creamy and medium bodied: a nice feel.

Overall, this was my favorite of the three Lawson's beers we had tonight. Thank you Kyle!

Hearty pour with 2mm head which faded to virtually nothing within minutes. Light orange in color and medium translucency when held to light.

Distinctive smell which is hard to explain, floral overtones with a background chives or onions. Blending into a gasoline like aroma. Not my favorite.

Remarkably smooth with grape skin like taste immediately. Aftertaste sticks with you after about 4-5 drinks and is bitter but leaves me wanting more and more. Unlike any other IPA I have tasted.

Remarkably tasty and unique which warrants the high rating

Thanks to Kyle and Phil for this one. 22oz. bomber into a Brooklyn Brewery snifter. Shared with schen9303.

Pours a thin, .5 finger white frothy head with moderate retention. Beer is clear bright orange. Lacing is patchy and stringy with good stick. Nice looking beer.

Nose is citrus hop bitterness with undertones of cane sugar, white grapes, and other tropical fruit. Moderately aromatic but enticing.

Opens grapefruit, citrus, some gingerbread, cane sugar, and hop bitterness. White grape skin towards the middle, citrus, and more of the pulp at the end. Some sappy hop bitterness and white grapes at the finish with a tropical fruit, light white grape flesh aftertaste. Different but very solid.

Light bodied with moderate to high carbonation. Smooth and lively in the mouth and quenching and abrasive going down. Messy finish with a lingering, sticky aftertaste. Really nice.

This beer showcases the Nelson Sauvignon hops nicely with a good balance between the fruit characteristics and the subtle hop profile. Overall, an interesting, off-the-path ipa that's solidly crafted. Worth trying.

The beer pours a clear golden amber with a thin wispy white head. The nose has an almost negligible hop profile with a touch of sweetness from the malt...slight notes of cardboard. The taste is quite nondistinct with a lot of bitterness upfront followed by a touch of bitter pineapple in the finish. It's an interesting beer, a relatively well balanced IPA, but not a win in my book.

copper color pour. not really much of a head, slight lacing.

smell of concentrated citrus, didn't smell as hoppy as other Lawson offerings.

strongest tastes are grapefruit and a nicely balanced touch of malt. might appeal to those who like a bit more juice mixed with their hops.

feel is juicy, oily, and slick - which is my personal trifecta.

just outstanding, my second favorite Lawson's after Double Sunshine. i'd love to put them next to each other some time. it's much smoother than Hopzilla and even Triple Play.

Easily in my top 5 DIPAs.

Big thanks to baconsausage for this bottle... my first Lawson's beer...

A: Pours a cloudy lemon yellow with about a half finger of white head. The foam settles quickly, leaving some solid lacing along the edges of the glass. This is a nice looking double ipa.

S: The nose is huge hoppy pine, mild citrus, and quite a bit of onion. I'm not a huge fan of the onion notes, but right now it's not too overwhelming.

T: The beer starts off wet and refreshing with mild lemons right up front. But immediately following as a big burst of super dank piney hops. I get some mild onion, but it's not the main flavor in this brew.

M: Medium bodied beer. It has some heft to it, but it's incredibly drinkable. I can't believe how easy this beer is going down.

O: This is a really nice beer, and I'd drink it again in a heartbeat, but it's not my favorite flavor profile for the style.

Pours quite nicely into my CBS snifter. A thick two fingers of white head accentuates the top of the cloudy yellow-orange body.

Nose is fresh cut citrus and pine with a light sweetness.

What a mouthful! Pine and grapefruit up front with a distinct pine finish. Clean and light malt backbone, barely present. Almost an immaculate finish with no yeasty off flavors to distract from hopperfection.

Mouthfeel is clean and stripping. Tart and truly palate cleansing.

Overall, another stellar brew from Lawson's. In my memory, it's right up there with Double Sunshine. However, without a side-by-side tasting, I may never know.

Kiwi double IPA pours a hazy amber color with a small, creamy head on top. The foam fades away quickly leaving behind only a few spots of lace on the glass.

The aroma is loaded with grapefruit citrus and tropical fruit (mango, pineapple). Some bready malt notes are also present.

Each sip of this full bodied beer is chewy and creamy on the palate. Moderate carbonation. The flavor is fairly well balanced between citrus hops and caramel malt. It begins with grapefruit citrus and tropical fruit. Like the aroma mango and pineapple are present. Towards the end sweet caramel malt and a touch of bread appears. It finishes dry and moderately bitter with grassy hop flavors. Once gone the grassy bitterness and grapefruit citrus lingers on the palate.

This is a very tasty beer that's more balanced than other DIPAs.

A: Pours a hazy golden orange to copper in color with some orange and golden yellow highlights along with a light amount of visible carbonation. The beer has a finger tall pillowy off-white head that slowly reduces to medium sized medium thick patch of moderate sized bubbles, extremely thin film covering the majority of the surface of the beer, and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate to significant amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate aromas of hops - tropical/pineapple, citrus/grapefruit, and just a slight hint of floral.

T: Upfront there is a very light flavor of caramel malts with just the slightest hint of sweetness but that is followed by the dominant flavors of hops. I get a moderate to significant amount of citrus/grapefruit, followed by moderate amounts of tropical/pineapple, and some light notes of floral and spicy hops. Light to moderate amounts of bitterness in the finish that slowly fade away.

M: Slightly less than medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Light amounts of dryness in the finish.

O: This is a very enjoyable DIPA that any hophead would really enjoy - wonderful aromas of flavors from the hops without any aggressive or overwhelming bitterness. Overall the beer is pretty well balanced, easy to drink, and one I would gladly have again.

Pours a light copper colour, not much clarity, with an off white finger of head that leaves only traces of lace. Dissipates to a grouping of soupy bubbles.

The aroma is somewhat resinous, with bits of tropical and herbal hop notes, and a predominant maltiness coming through.

BOOM! That is heavenly...zesty hop punch straight in the teeth, then some tropical fruits, herbal hops, some floral-ness, some resin, a stark, but not too lingering bitterness, and a clean malt profile just to even things out. Delish!

Has a light/medium body, good carbonation and overall pleasant palate presence.

Smells good, taste is epic, overall excellent.

Pours bright orange with a slight haze. 2 fingers of soapy off-white head leaves great retention and solid chunky lacing down the glass.

Very good aroma typical with other NZ hopped beers I've had. Lots of tropical fruit and pineapple with grapefruit hanging in the background. Also a bit more of a floral/soapy nose than I usually associate with these hops.

Lots of grapefruit bitterness up front on the palate. Lush juicy tropical fruit then grabs hold along with a slight caramel presence. Lots of mango and pineapple throughout. Finishes a bit floral with good lingering bitterness.

Medium mouthfeel and carbonation. A little bit of a fuller body works well with the juicy tropical fruit profile.

Very enjoyable beer. Not on the level of Double Sunshine, but pretty close. Lots of complex flavors I'd recommend to any hophead.

22oz bottle poured into a Russian River stemmed "-tion" chalice.

The beer pours a really nice bright copper color, hues of gold, orange and straw, fairly clear complexion with a slight chill haze. A nice thick soapy, frothy head sits atop the beer that has great retention and leaves behind a great webbed network of lacing. The aroma is very nice, lots of juicy tropical fruit aromas, pineapple, mango with some grapefruit mixed in as well, nice bright floral bouquet blends nicely with some resinous pine, a bit of spiciness from the Nelson Sauvin hop, and some nice sticky yet sweet malt character. The flavors are just as exciting, really bitter earthy hops lead quickly to the bright floral flavors and the really juicy tropical fruit flavors, fresh pineapple and mango are really delightful with some nice acidic citrus at the finish. A touch of malt and alcohol sweetness is present, but never detracts from the beer. The body is nice and full, medium carbonation, a bit of soapiness, everything you’d expect from a Double IPA.

Verdict: Rock solid IPA from Lawson’s, a notch below Double Sunshine, but this is really great in it’s own right. The flavors are really balanced, and I love the fresh juicy fruit qualities, a perfect treat for the holidays!

22 oz bottle. Thanks to Gene for bringing this back for my from his Vermont trip. It was poured into my Brooklyn Brewery tulip.

Kiwi Double IPA pours tangerine, with a little bit of haze to it and some goldenrod highlights. About two fingers of lightly frothy white foam cap the beer, sticking around for a minute or two before fading. Intricate webs of lacing are left in its wake. The hop bouquet emanating from the glass is fantastic, it's just a little bit tame for a double IPA. There's plenty of mango and, yes, kiwi, joined by a good helping of that signature white wine aroma from the Nelson Sauvin hops. The briefest swirl of caramel greets my palate before a potent wave of bitterness crashes through. The hoppy back end ha some of those same tropical fruit notes from the nose, but they're dominated, just a bit too much, by the Nelson supplied gooseberry. Had they used more of some of the other hops and less Nelson, the flavor would just about be flawless, as everything else is there. The body is well dried out for the style, but I do find myself wishing the carbonation was just a little more lively. I bumped the "overall" score for Kiwi Double IPA up to a 4.5 because most of the other categories were close to being scored a 4.5, and the beer deserved more than a 4 overall score. Unlike Double Sunshine, which I find to be a bit over-hyped, this is a top notch imperial IPA.

bomber into 2012 SAVOR tulip. no bottled on date found, however i know this shit is fresh.

A: slightly hazed orange body. head is bright white. retention is moderate and lacing is a tad minimal.

S: pungent. citrus. grapefruit. cantaloupe. dont know too much about pacific jade hops, but i am not recognizing any distinctive nelson sauvin aromas, so im lead to believe they are a bit overpowering here. a few fusel alcohols.

T: the hop flavor is cloying. citrus and grapes. there is a distinctive white wine flavor. vinous. the bitterness lingers towards the finish for a moment then vanishes to dryness.

M: mild/average carb on a medium body.

D: not getting nothing that is shouting kiwi flavor to me, but im sure that name was merely used due to the nature of where these hops are from. regardless, a solid brew from lawsons, but not their best.

22oz bottle purchased at Montpelier Farmers' Mkt 48hrs ago 12/15/12. Poured into HF stemware drank at various temps btw 54-61F.

A: Slightly hazy, golden honey, light orange, one finger head - toothy white head. Beautiful looking beer. Nice lacing as I drink

S: Not as punchy on the nose as I expected but probably because it's been in the bottle a bit (no date) - week or two? I've drank Alpine Nelson's over a few weeks from bottling and this seems like similar nose muting. Draft prob sniffing more aggressively. Honeydew melon, white grapes, herbal (more Jade influence here?), light grapefruit rind, white wine, some sweet malt presence. Warmer it gets the more grapefruit I smell.

T: Sweet honeydew melon, citrus and awesomely balanced (not too much!) maltiness slowly segues into grapefruit and white wine, which artfully morphs into an earthly and herbal bitterness. Just when you think that's it another bite of grapefruit on the finish. Not drying though. Well done!

M: Slick and luscious yet clean--nice carb. Lawson nails the mouthfeel yet again, but with the addition of that signature Nelson effect that I have a hard time describing. The one I also get in Kiwi Rising and to some degree with Alpine Nelson (in the latter case I think the rye mutes this a little). Damn close to perfect in my book. A little alcohol on the tongue, but barely. So drinkable it's crazy. Which this wasn't my last bottle.

O: If I had this on draft or a week earlier it might be in my top tier. Or maybe it's my lack of familiarity with Jade. Either way theres just a little something keeping it from totally flooring me like Double Sunshine did. Which is to say this beer is better than 99.9% of beers ever made! If you can get it drink as much as you can.

22oz bottle purchased at the Lawson's farmer's market release on Saturday. Poured into Lawson's snifter. First tried on draft at Three Penny Taproom, but this review is live from the bottle.

A- Pours a golden brown, slightly grapefruit color with about a finger's worth of white frothy head that recedes decently fast. Nice consistent carbonation. Some light lacing.

S- Greeny hops, pine, grapefruit, a bit floral but a little bit more bready, some malts, nicely balanced but not as aromatic as I was hoping for.

T- Greeny hops, pine, grapefruit, tangerines, honey, some bready malts, nicely balanced, finishes slightly bitter. Nice balanced aftertaste of bready malts and greeny hops.

M- Medium bodied, nice carbonation, easy to drink.

O- This beer is very good for a DIPA, definitely one of the better ones I've had but I still prefer Hopzilla and Double Sunshine more. I could have used a little bit more hops and I actually prefer Kiwi Rising from Jack's Abby more, however I will admit this beer is a little bit more balanced. I definitely recommend checking this beer out, you will not be disappointed. I think I preferred it on draft at Three Penny better then the bottle though.
