Look - Copper orange see through when warm. Thin white head with weak pour. No lacing.

Smell - Malt. Lemon. Orange.

Taste - Bitter up front followed by faint citrus. More bitter than anything.

Feel - Medium. Average carbonation.

Overall - Not well balanced but a beer I can drink. Add some citrus or malt to balance bitterness.

Church Brew Works : Thunderhop Double IPA

Pours a clear golden color. White soapy head leaves plenty of lace. Aroma of grapefruit and floral herbs. A bit of malt sweetness in the nose. In the taste, grapefruity hops and fairly bitter. Small hint of alcohol. Pretty mild for a double IpA but fairly agreeable flavor. Medium to full bodied brew with a hop bite. Overall this is a pretty nice beer. The Thunderhop Extreme IpA was also available and has stronger abv and a more tropical hop presence.

Hazy and light orange, in color. The barkeep likes me, so I got an overpour in a pint glass. No head could form.

Smells of sweet, tangy papaya, grapefruit, and pine. Really tangy hops with an infiltrating nose. Very diminutive malts makes this smell almost entirely of resinous hops.

Massively bitter and sweet with candied tropical fruit notes and intense pine hoppiness. Grapefruit, big sappy pine, and spicy alcohol. Not the most realized DIPA.

Low carbonation, glaze-y body, and a lot of strength.

Average in a style that needs it to be more. Too many good examples out there. I won't include this one.
