4.01/5  rDev -5%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Appearance: Pours quite a murky copper with a three-fingered head that sticks like a trooper and sheets the pint glass with lace

Smell: Pithy and piney with undertones of shortbread malt

Taste: A burst of shortbread tones and then the pithy and piney hops take over, assaulting the taste buds through the middle and after the swallow; some residual sweetness lingers, but this is a hop dominant DIPA

Mouthfeel: Medium to full body with moderate carbonation

Overall: The first properly carbonated bottle of my last three from Freetail, this is a very nice DIPA and probably was even better a few months ago; nicely balanced with a good blast of hops

Big thanks goes out to kjkinsey for sending this one as an extra in a very recent trade! Served from bottle into a Green Man snifter. Poured a brownish red-orange with a half finger off-white head that subsided to a minimal amount very quickly. Maintained phenomenal lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, wood, earth, caramel, caramel hop, citrus, and subtle citrus hop. The flavor was of sweet malt, caramel, sweet alcohol, caramel hop, citrus, and wood. It had a medium feel on the palate with high carbonation. Overall this was a pretty good brew. I really liked what I found in this one in both the aroma and the flavor. There was a very good balance of hop bite with sweetness here to keep your palate alive. I was honestly surprised to find this much balance in the brew but it was definitely welcomed. Really glad I got the chance to try this one and suggest you do the same.

Bottle from the recent release sent to me by Canadianghetto. Thanks! 22oz into a tulip.

A: Pours a clear brass color with a nice egg-shell head.

S: Thick grapefruit, canteloupe, pine resin, light caramel and vanilla in the nose.

T: Resiny, melon, orange zest, slight bitterness, doughy crystal malt.

M: Medium-bodied, light carbonation.

O: This is a very nice low-bitterness DIPA with plenty of fruity hop notes.

From the Freetail to-go case; poured into a snifter. Nice consistent orange color with minimal head that dissipates rather quickly. The aroma hits you immediately; the citrus is very evident with an almost floral quality on the back end. Not too heavy in terms of body or carbonation, but coats the palate modestly well. Clean citrus flavor, somewhat piney; the hops are present but not overwhelming when compared to more "extreme" DIPAs. The Hopothesis series has generally been pleasing, and this one meets expectations.

I had this on tap at the brewpub on 11.16.12.

A - Served a clear medium orange with no head once it made it to the table.

S - Very citrus fruity and melon-like. Very hop dominate and sweet.

T - Melons, citrus, a hop-resin heavy drink with a hint of pine. I enjoyed this one.

D - Lower carbonation with a medium body.

O - Hoppy citrus and melons with a hint of pine. Delicious.

Serving type: on-tap
