October 9th marks bike messenger appreciation day, so raise a class of this IPA brewed and dry hopped with El Dorado and a pinch of Citra hops. These people are overworked and underpaid as they bike through anything that Mother Nature brings, delivering packages on time. What is better than a half-hour delivery service when it's crunch time? So next time you see a messenger racing through a yellow light, get the hell out of the way!

10/14/18 (Chicago): $8.82 10 oz draft pour at Spiteful Brewing. Pale clear yellow pour into flute glass, solid carbonation, puffy white head, minimal lacing. Nice solid hops aroma. Bitter hops taste, firm very dry clean crisp mouth feel and finish. Straight up excellent double IPA!

Batch #466 tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a 1 pt 6 oz bottle on September 18, 2016. Look is orange gold blend with a thick white head and some sticky lacing. Smell and taste is citrus and some melon. Feel is medium in body with some heat from the high abv.

Bottled early September 2016. Pours fairly clear the color of gold with a hint of orange. Plenty of white head that settles slowly and leaves a lot of lacing. Smell is fruits, primarily citrus and overripe melon. Taste is more melon and citrus with hints of alcohol, which is not unexpected considering this beer is nearly 11% ABV. I find this to be a bit more bitter and dry compared to other DIPA offerings in the market, but this is consistent with my experience Spiteful's other DIPAs. Mouth feel is smooth with well balanced carbonation. Overall a pretty good effort from Spiteful, not the best of what they've put out, but definitely drinkable.
