Don’t get us wrong, we love us some Duckpin Pale Ale. Its still our go-to, hop forward, refreshing session pale - but in honor of the opening of the 5th Annual Baltimore Beer Week , we’ve lowered the bumpers, buffed our balls, & bowled ten frames of hops straight down the lane of our original pale ale to create the hoppiest IPA…

12 ounce can. Amber gold pour. Creamy beige head. Sharp citrus hop aroma. Notes of pineapple and green onion. Intense bittersweet citrus hop flavor. Strong resiny notes as well. A bit thin bodied for a Double IPA. Still, a big, complex brew worth seeking out.

Got in a trade with spelingchampeon. 12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 5/9/2018. Pours slightly hazy deep golden amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, cracker, toasted bread, light honey/caramel, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, cracker, toasted bread, light honey/caramel, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, cracker, toasted bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy, and sticky/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Minimal warming alcohol for 8.5%. Overall this is a fantastic DIPA! All around outstanding complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and pretty refreshing to drink with the moderately bitter/drying finish; not too aggressive. Loved the Cascade, Mosaic, CTZ, Amarillo, and Galaxy hop bill as expected. Very juicy, vibrant, dank, and earthy balanced hop complexity; nice bready malt backbone, with no residual sweetness. Very well attenuated for the ABV, one of the smoothest DIPAs I have had. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazing style example.

Can Slightly hazy gold pour with a small white head. Light pineapple/mango aroma. The flavor follows the aroma with a juicy tropical flavor and smooth bitterness.

Tap. Pours slightly hazy amber orange, medium creamy off-white head, dissipates slowly, nice lacing. Aroma is grapefruit, pine, a bit soapy actually. Flavor is light plus sweet, medium plus bitter, traditional styling. Harsh, soapy and biting. Medium body. Huh.
