Batch 115

A: Gorgeous clear amber gold with a foamy white head. Good lacing and head sticks around

S: Big sweetness - orange, sugared grapefruit peel, and bitterness - resin, fresh pine; and rye bread malt notes. As it warms, an embracing mango astringency takes form, as well as some strawberry and melon sweetness.

T: Incredibly full, rich, and intense. An incredibly vibrant and fruity and bitter DIPA - great balance.
Orange, grapefruit, lemon zest and mango explode after a slap of bitterness. There is some pineapple astringency as well. Very balanced and intense

P: Full for the style - chewy and sticks to the mouth. Lingers a long while

O: Just a fantastic beer - may be the best of the ninja unicorn series, an incredible DIPA all around. Getting better each batch

Aromas of grapefruit, pine,and tropical fruit.

Hops-a-plenty with sweet malt!!! Piney resin, grapefruit rind upfront with pineapple, mango, and papaya lingering.

Tongue smacks with a fantastic balance of hoppy, malty, fruity bliss.

This DIPA lives up to my every expectation. They keep making this--I keep buying. For those jonesing FFF Zombie Dust and can't find it, this is a great rival. I'll take both anyday. Great job Pipeworks!!

22 oz bomber served in a Southern Tier Tulip glass. Four finger head with rings of lacing around the sides of the tulip. Crystal clear golden color.

Strong fruity and floral hop aroma characteristic of a IIPA and pale malt in the background. Terrific smell.

Taste is less tropical than in the nose with citrus rind, mango and heavy dry hop resiny pine. Like a West Coast/Midwest blend DIPA. Pine defeats citrus. Pale malts provide the base layer.

Mouthfeel leaves slick hops on the tongue and a dry finish.

A solid offering for Pipework's initial foray into the Midwest brewing scene. The label art is outstanding.

This is my 5th bottle of Ninja Vs. Unicorn, so I decided it was time to write a review. First of all, the bottle art and the name is pretty cool off the bat, but beyond that, this is an awesome DIPA.

Poured from a 22oz bomber into my Duvel glass.

A - Medium golden color, with a nice 2 finger head and some quality lacing as the head retreats.

S - Citrus! Mango! Maybe papaya? The fruity hoppy smell hits you right away.

T - As expected, there is a huge citrus and mango hop flavor right away. But there is a nice malty sweetness that balances it out. This is a tasty beer for sure.

M - It has a nice "not too heavy, not too light" mouth feel. But, the carbonation is very nice.

O - Overall, if you live in Chicago or has a friend that does, grab a bottle of this. You won't be disappointed.

22oz bomber from batch #91, consumed in a Bell's tulip glass today 3/9/2013. Thanks to powz87!

Aroma: Lots of citrus and grapefruit to the nose with some underlying sweet malt character giving me hints of honey, toffee and sweet bread. And I mean this is a really strong nose- I don't even have to sniff to look for the nose. The nose popped right out at me as soon as I opened the bottle. So in a nutshell, it smells like a DIPA but is more aggressive than most. (4)

Colour: Pours a clear light amber body that is just right where I like my DIPAs. Pours a thick 1cm white head that dissipates within a minute into a bubbly collar. Lacing is nice and sticky. Incredibly attractive beer that screams out for quaffing. (4)

Flavour: The best part, believe it or not. With the amount of hop bite you get at the end, there is an unbelievable amount of malt presence at the beginning of the quaff. It brings out caramel and honey which transitions well to a combined aforementioned malt sweetness and grapefruit/citrus hop bitterness. As I've said in previous reviews, the mark of a good DIPA is not how much barley and hops go into the wort, but rather how these large quantities of ingredients blend in with each other to make a seamless yet complex flavour that as a bonus, hides the ABV. This DIPA has this in spades. (5)

Mouthfeel: Thicker side of medium body, very well carbonated. Resinous with a dry finish- coats my tongue with its aftertaste of bitter citrus combined with the sweet caramel resinous flavour. Incredibly quaffable and a dangerous brew for the mere mortal. (5)

Overall: This reminds me a bit of Pliny the Elder when it comes to the balance of the hop bitterness and pale malt sweetness. As a homebrewer, I understand how tricky it can be to construct a beer with a big grain and hop bill and yet have it all come together the way PtE does. This beer comes closer than most to achieving the balance that PtE does, though it leans a bit in the favor of the bitter hop components. This is an outstanding DIPA and I salute Pipeworks for their excellent work! (4)

Poured from bomber (Batch #008 brewed 3/21/12 bottled 4/9/12) into a dimple mug. Pours a beautiful deep golden amber with orange hues along a bright white head which leaves gorgeous lacing throughout. Grapefruit, orange, and lemon notes with piney undertones in the nose. Flavors of resin, floral and citrus notes dominate upfront-orange peel. Transitions into a slight sweetness and a touch of malt. Finishes with a crisp, sharp hop bite with pine undertones that gradually relents into smooth silk. Medium body that is very appropriate and completely adequate for a DIPA. Medium to lower carbonation, enough to gentle tickle the tongue and roof of the mouth beckoning you to partake in another mouthful. Silky smooth mouthfeel. Excellent DIPA from Pipeworks. Thanks funkyaudio for this beer!

Not only is this beer brewed right here in Chicago it is the BEST DIPA unfiltered I have ever had!!

A- dark orange with a huge cloud of white head

S- Very tropical daydreamed myself sitting on a beach. A touch of booziness.

T- out of this world very smooth the booziness scared me at first. A little bready with tangerine, ripe orange and citrus follows: Where is my hammock!!

Overall- The best DIPA UNFILTERED a guy can ask for! I wish I bought more!! Balanced with malt and hops taste and finish!!

Poured 22 oz bomber into Duvel tulip.

My habit is to smell the can/bottle immediately after opening. N vs U: you had me at hello! NVU pours an opaque pumkin colored orange, with plenty of cream-colored head. The smell immeadiately reminds me of my first Dreadnaught experience: weed & citrus. The mouthfeel is almost perfect for the style: not too thick or thin...just right. Down the hatch, I'm getting an array of citrus & tropical fruit: orange peel, grapefruit, maybe a bit of apricot or mango. I was expecying a sweet finish, but it actually finishes quite nicely: dry, with a lingering bitterness.

Overall, two thumbs up for my first Pipeworks experience. They are 2 blks from me, so I hope they open a bottle shop soon! I'd be curious to do a blind taste test with Dready: these taste quite similar to me.

Thanks to emerge for sharing this one.

A - Somewhat clear golden orange with an eggshell thick white head and spotty lacing.

S - Tropical fruit, mango pineapple, tangerine, papaya, light hint of pine and soft caramel malt.

T - Juicy ripe tropical fruit, mango, tangerine some grapefruit and more pine than was noticeable in aroma. Candied oranges and honey. Nicely balanced, on the sweeter side for a DIPA but more in a candied fruit way and than caramel/crystal malt way.

M - Medium body and juicy. Lingering hop resin.

D - Very smooth and well balanced. Excellent DIPA.

Bomber picked up from The Beer Temple in Chicago poured into Darkness stem.

A- Hazy glowing gold with very small head no lacing and not bubbly whatsoever.

S- Big fruity hops hit you right up front. Tons of fresh fruit with hints of orange, pineapple and sweet grapefruit. Ruby red grapefruit flavors begin to grow and really stand out. Very sweet nose almost scares me in that

T- Follows the nose with the amount of grapefruit it really is really the star here. Musty, dank hops are relevant throughout: really nice. Not quite as big as most DIPAs which is a welcome change. Very much so on the lighter side of things which is expected with the relatively low 8.5% abv when compare to others of the same style.

M- Really nice, low carbonation light medium bodied mouthfeel. Very smooth and drinkable.

O- Really nice offering from Pipeworks. It really delivers on flavor while not being too heavy which is perfect for this time of year and the grapefruit flavor really takes over. Nice balance of low carbonation and big flavor compliment and round out everything quite well. Would buy again and again... Be better if there were six packs to be had. I don't do well with bombers. Cheers.

A: Slightly hazy light golden amber in color. Forms a small, but dense bright white head that has some pretty good staying power. Moderate lacing.

S: Very aromatic with notes of tropical fruit, orange, and mango. Lots of citrus hops and some lesser caramel malts.

T: Starts off with a bit of a biscuit maltiness. Then lots of pine and pine resin with some citrus hops as well. Tropical fruit to a lesser extent - much less than the nose would suggest. Finishes with a strong dry bitterness.

M: Medium bodied and dry with a carbonation level that is bit higher than it should be. Strong, lingering bitterness.

O: This is a great DIPA. Very clean flavors with a very aggressive bitterness. Would have preferred more of the tropical aromas of the nose carried over to the taste, but it is was it is. Very nice beer - can't wait until this becomes more readily available.

Thanks to a great trader, Bertram, for this! Some of the coolest bottle art I have seen.

A. Pours a slightly cloudy marigold with a thick three finger eggshell, thick, foamy head. Excellent lacing.

S. Mmmm, really really nice. Lots of tropical fruit, including mango, tangerine, and pineapple. Some mild pine resin yields to a luscious, soft honeycomb finish.

T. Pineapple, tangerine, candied orange slices, pine needles, freshly cut grass, honey drizzle, and caramel. Leans more toward the sweet, savory side rather than the hop bomb side. And that is a-ok by me. Just a nice big tropical candy profile here with a crisp hop kick. Very nice.

M. Pretty full bodied for a DIPA, very sweet. Crisp with a moderate-high carb level.

O. I was very impressed with this offering from Pipeworks. It's my first experience with them, and I welcome more of their brews (wink, wink Jason). DIPAs tend to be a little too harsh for me, but this has a lovely, easygoing flavor profile that retains complexity and punch without bowling you over with brashness. A top-notch DIPA.

22 oz bottle, batch no. 8, poured into a snifter.

A- Pours a nice orange golden color, slightly hazy, topped with a finger of fluffy white head that settles down to a ring around the edge of the glass, leaves very good lacing.

S- Oh man, this is one juicy DIPA, seriously one of the most delicious fruit aromas I've found on an DIPA in a while. Loads of tropical mango and pineapple. Also lots of resinous pine and bready malts.

T- Big aggressive hop flavor, very juicy and fruity. Big notes of mango and pineapple, with a powerful pine resin bitterness. A good amount of lightly bready malts.

M- Medium-bodied, smooth, creamy feel, dry finish.

O- Hop heads will love this, this is a really tasty and highly drinkable beer. Also, unicorn, totally, I mean just look at it.

I had heard a lot about Pipeworks and was extremely excited to try them, so when we were at the Goose Island N. Clybourne location, we decided to go to the Binny's near it. Grabbed this and the Cyber Dog.

This was an extremely impressive beer. I wouldn't consider this on the same level as the Dogfish Head 120 minute by any means, but that is an exceptional beer. The closest imperial IPA that I could compare this to is the Dogfish Head 90 minute.

In comparison, I will say that the the body of the beer is slightly lighter, but it has great head retention and even though the hops are very apparent in the nose, the malt of the beer balances out the hops. This is different from the Dogfish Head 90 minute, but it is great in its own right.

I've had a few other bottles of Pipeworks and all of these beers have been excellent, even the more experimental ones. What I can say is that this upstart brewery makes great stuff, and anyone near Chicago should support local brews, so enjoy

Really excited to try this one! I've heard great things about this beer and I was pumped to get my hands on this! It's a gnarly looking unicorn on the label looks mean, so I'd say the unicorn would win in this battle?!?

Pours a deep golden color thats is very clear and see thru. Has hardly any head but leaves a nice spotty lace trail after I gave it a swirl. Also, not getting too many carbonation bubbles either.

The aroma is of citrus, orange, hops, maybe even apple or pineapple

The taste at first is citrusy and carbonated but then the hops burst on the scene and you get an awesome bitterness! Has a caramel taste as well once it's warms a bit!

It's a little less than medium bodied but coats the mouth really nice and the lingering bitterness is more pleasant than some other double IPAs

This is a very good beer! I'm a big pipeworks fan and lucky for me live close to these guys! This is one of their better ones for sure

(poured into a snifter)
This beer pours a beautiful golden straw color with very little head. At first, all the little bubbles wanted to hang out on the side of the glass which looked rad but seemed strange; couldn't decide if it was my glassware or some veteran homebrewers getting used to forced carbonation. The aroma brings on strong notes of gummy fruits with a hint of hops. A super smooth front greets you with a nice amount of hops. Really crisp. A nice hoppy finish but it ends very smooth. A super interesting mix for a double IPA; not that malty and not super hoppy. Well done boys.

22oz bomber poured into a snifter. Batch number 48.

A- Pours a hazy orange color with a finger or so of a white head. Some lacing along the sides of the glass. Looks like a nice DIPA.

S- Tons of citrus is apparent upon popping the cap. Orange, mango, grapefruit are most notable in the aroma for me. A sweet maltiness is noted also.

T- Starts off bitter with a dry feel. Lots of citrus and also pine coming into the taste. A nice malt backbone finishes off the sip.

M- Lighter side of medium bodied, nicely carbonated, dry, bitter and hopped. Drinks very easy for 8.5%.

I've only had a few offerings from Pipeworks, but this is my favorite. A well balanced DIPA that is refreshing and very drinkable.

Batch #56 poured into Founders Bolt Cutter glass

Pour: Hazy light orange with a finger and a half of bright white head. The head consisted of small tight bubbles that did not last very long. This settled to a small pocket of bubbles on the surface and a thin ring around the edge. Some light lacing is noted.

Smell: Citrus forward with orange, mango, pineapple, and grapefruit. A very pleasant sweet malt is in this with a bread note, too. Pretty standard DIPA here but the citrus in it is nice.

Taste: Just like the smell, very citrus forward and in the most enjoyable way. Lots of grapefruit and orange zest with bit of lemon. Not too bitter as there is a sweetness mid palate that smooths things out. At the back end the bitterness says hi in the swallow and aftertaste. A very enjoyable beer for sure!

Mouthfeel: Crisp and creamy at the same time. Somewhat sticky with a medium body and medium carbonation. Really spot on for this style.

Overall: I must say that Pipeworks knows their DIPA's. This is top notch for the style. Nothing really stands out but then again nothing is deficient either. Just a perfectly well rounded DIPA that is a complete joy to drink.

A - poured into an oversized wine glass with a beautiful one finger head. a dull golden sheen to it with a huge amount of carbonation rising. the head fades within about a minute and is already lacing well. as I drink I notice the most attractive lacing. There's a tad bit of sediment at the bottom of the bottle which moves through the glass like a beautiful slow smoke.

S - a really sharp hoppy smell right off the bat . not much else going on. giving it a 3.75 b/c i feel a tad congested and a friend has a candle down the hall.

T - huge mouthful of bitterness! real awesome initial lemon and pine bitterness. definite alcohol presence which I think is actually a little much for my taste. has a good second kick flavor after the initial impact that fades really nicely and takes its time. I find that the aftertaste is actually a little better than the initial experience. The pine really sticks around for a while!

Mmmm freshness. Batch 91 brewed a little over two weeks ago has a great carbonation to it. Its really satisfying. Maybe I should have had it a little colder, this is a definite post lawn mowing beer.

O - really good beer. If you're looking for a ton of bitterness and huge amount of hops this is a great beer for you. I'm a huge fan of the sharp beers and this one definitely delivers. A really pleasing experience!

Picked up my FwB allocation of ninja vs unicorn yesterday and couldn't wait to open it up. Pours with a nice finger an a half of head that dissipates to a thin film with a ring around the outside of the glass. Leaves some nice lacing. Beer is very clear, and a golden color. Aroma is huge citrus, grapefruit and tangerine hops with a mild floral note. Flavor is a huge hoppy kick. Lots of grapefruit, citrus, and some resiny bitterness. Though the citrusy resiny hops are the main attraction, there is still a bit of nice balance. Very nice and dry. Great mouthfeel. This DIPA is crisp with great carbonation and does not show it's ABV. It actually reminds me a lot of daisy cutter/double daisy cutter. A very dry super hoppy, drinkable IPA/DIPA.

Bottle: Poured a hazy beige color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of floral hops with a mix between some citrus hops with resinous notes is quite exquisite. Taste is a super great mix between huge floral notes of citrus hops with some resinous notes with a good malt backbone with just enough sweetness to sustain the hops presence. Body is full with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Huge hops bomb with more floral then bitter notes.

Batch 48, bottled 10/24/12

A - Pours clear slightly burnt orange with one finger of off-white head. Head has good retention and leaves some spotty lacing.

S - Big citrus hops aroma, with a lot of grapefruit, and some orange as well. Some pine hops. Malt aroma is pretty mild, with a bready aspect. Pretty standard DIPA aroma, but the citrus presence is very nice.

T - As big as the citrus aroma was, the citrus taste is much bigger, in a great way. Lots of grapefruit zest, some juicy orange pulp and a bit of tangerine. Taste also has some nice pine and grassy hops. Nice earthy bitterness. This is a really fresh bottle, and the malt component is a footnote, but does provide a bit of depth.

M - Mouthfeel is very smooth for such a hoppy beer. The malts provide a nice amount of body, though the finish has an intense lingering earthy bitterness. Very nice.

O - This is an excellent DIPA. The body is big, but not sweet, and the hops provide a lot of different flavors, not just intense bitterness. The citrus is very nice. Look forward to having this again.

Bomber poured into New Belgium globelet.

A - Golden orange, a bit hazy, with a finger and a half of eggshell foam head that dissipates fairly quickly and is retained in a soapy ring and an island of bubbles in the center. Gorgeous legs.

S - Citric fruits and some pine, w a bit of bready sweet malt in support. Overall, not an overwhelming nose, but hits the expected notes.

T - Blood oranges, ruby red grapefruit, and fresh pineapple entwined with hints of burnt sugar and caramel. Grassy, delightfully bitter hops in a balanced finish. This must be fresh, because the flavors just pop.

M - Creamy, resiny, and crisp, sits fairly heavy on the palate. The hops resin provides a sticky viscocity throughout that coats and masks a slight alcohol burn.

This is just a phenomenal DIPA. Between this and Haymarket's Matthias, Chicago is finally producing some world-class hop bombs. Great time to be a hophead in the Windy City.

22oz, batch 18, 6/18/12
Victory tulip

A: Pours a hazy, dark orange color.  Typical DIPA.  Two fingers of bright white head.  Tons of carbonation streaming off the bottom of the glass, and coming up sides.  I see this has some alcohol feet and assume lacing is gonna be left.

S: Lots of tropical fruits: mango, papaya, maybe some pineapple, etc.  Lots of hops, but there is some sweet maltiness in there too.

T: Right up front, nice hop bitterness on the tip of the tongue.  Really pleasant and not overly aggressive.  You get those fruity hops that you smelled.  Definitely pulling some papaya and peach and slight pineapple.  In the middle of the mouth, you get those sweet malts to help cut through the bitterness.  Still very hop forward though.  The close is very dry and slightly bitter.  Leaves you wanting more!

M: Medium bodied.  Great carbonation.

O: A- leading to A for me.  Really surprised and pleasantly happy.
