Independence: An American Double IPA

Slightly orange tinted pale. Some haze. Aroma permeates the whole environment with tons of pine. White head fades to a ring. First taste is exceptionally bitter, right up there with the better IPA, terribly on style. Doesn't this style simply and perfectly personify the state of beers since the 200th anniversary? Yes, now at 250th, there must be over a gahzillion different varieties of these, by every possible brewer in the world, not to mention the hundred sub-styles, LoL. You know, there is some carbonation here, but the flavor is so powerful, you'd never notice it. Yea in the middle I'm getting the The Liquid Landscaper, liquefied lawnmower clippings strained through an old wool sock.Then the Desert Survivalist sets in with a refreshing splash of battery acid mixed with pure dandelion venom. Not even to say its like Pine Tree Purgatory, licking a pine-scented car air freshener to cure a hangover. Finally it finishes like a Vick's cough syrup that gave up on its dreams and turned to rotting green grapefruit crime. Yes, it's totally on style and if yer into IPA, put this on yer bucket list and try it before its gone gone gone.
