American Double / Imperial IPA |  8.50% ABV

Availability: Year-round. bottle (662), on-tap (9)

Notes:
The classic India Pale Ale is a traveler’s beer, aggressively hopped to withstand the long, hot ocean voyage to the British East Indies. Our Double-Wide I.P.A. also travels well, and is right at home in the most exotic ports of call of the Midwest. While this modern-day prairie schooner may not resemble a graceful sailing sloop, our liberal hopping regimen does make her virtually “twister-proof,” with toffee and caramel notes balancing out the lingering bitterness. Enjoy this beer fresh to best appreciate the complex blending of hop aromas, ranging from minty to citrusy, with subtle hints of pine.

4.03/5  rDev +1.3%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Intro: 12 oz. bottle served in a tulip glass

Appearance: Medium amber color with a slight hazy consistency. Extreme beige colored head that diminishes as the pour proceeds but stays throughout.

Smell: Strong hoppy aroma with hints of pine and citrus. Smells like a good quality classic DIPA.

Taste: Strong bitter hoppy bite. Little else, just straight away hops. Slight boozy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel: Coats the mouth, dry at the end...nice carbonation

Drink: Very easy to drink and can go down rather quickly if you're not paying attention. An enticing beer that makes you want another one as you finish a pour.

Conclusion: A very respectable offering in the DIPA category. Although not heading the list of my favorite DIPA's, I would put in the upper 20% of the class. I've had this beer a few times and I'm sure it will be a mainstay in my fridge.

3.91/5  rDev -1.8%
look: 4.25 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75

A-Clear amber orange, two finger head, leaves some lacing.

S-Malt, caramel, some dirt and grass, not as much hops as I was expecting.

T-Starts malty with caramel, then dirt and grassy hops. Milt citrus hops and mild bitterness.

M-Medium bodied, nicely carbonated and some hop resins.

O-Not as aggressive for a DIPA as I'd like, the bottle was fresh, but it needed some more hops.
