Vintage 2012
Frothy cream, latte foam head on a deep golden body, poured into a pint glass. Looks very appetizing.
Heaps of citrus on the nose, with a faint hint of booze, blowing its Double cover.
Very boozy. I would expect it to be higher than 8.3% for how it tastes.
Boozily thick up front with astringent and oily hop finish.
A good Double IPA, but not in the top echelon. Racer 5 is in my go to IPA rotation, but this is a bit much for anything other than special occasions or tastings.
