look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

From bottle to tulip, bottled August 7.

A: Clear amber pour with a fluffy, beige one-inch head which hangs around for a couple of minutes. Nice lacing is evident as the beer and foam subsides.

S: Peaches, grapefruit, caramel malts, mint, honey and alcohol.

T: Piney grapefruit hops with caramel malts and some alcohol.

M: Medium carbonation, smooth, finishes dry with a lingering hop aftertaste.

O: A solid DIPA, well-priced (9.99/6 pack) DIPA from Lagunitas, though I prefer Hop Stoopid. Also, the alcohol presence in the nose and taste is a bit of a letdown, but should still be given a chance if you love IPAs/DIPAs like myself. Cheers!

look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.5

Bottle Served in a 16oz Goose Island Glass

Appearance: Amber, with a solid white head

Smell: Piney, hoppy, sweet,

Taste: Sweet, Caramel, Sugary. The hops are not cutting through on this one. It reminds of the Undercover Investigation Ale.

Mouthfeel: slight to moderate carbonation and thin bodied.

Overall: I wouldn't consider this a DIPA. I would characterize this as a flavorful Amber ale. The hops are not cutting through on this. It is very sweet and malty. The sweetness overpowers the hops.
