Quite a balanced dipa. Lots of sweet caramel malts, and a good dose of grapefruit, and pine hops. Im very impressed by thenbalance. The bitterness is not over the top, a pretty easy drinking dipa.

12oz at brewpub. Clear golden color. Sticky long lasting head with a whole lotta lacing. Lots of fresh slightly lemony and slightly resinous with moderate bitterness. All those aspects are well within reason a hint of tropical flavors. Taste is bright on hops, malts don’t get in the way. Clean malt profile but bitter and lemon heavy hops (not to heavy). Decent DIPA with clean hop flavor but I’d like hops flavors to be better. As the beer warmed up a sweet (maybe light butter) flavor emerged. Was hard to tell.

Draught at Collective on Tap, Woodinville, WA
Cloudy golden color with creamy head. Hop aroma, fruity, but not very strong, with a light animal note. It expresses itself better in the flavor, which is lean, with pale malt, very light sweetness, very fruity and resiny hops, and a hint of fox grapes.
Very good.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Cloudy light amber color with small head. Sweet caramel aroma, some toffee, mild hop fruitiness, olive oil. Lean mouthfeel, with just a moderate level of sweetness; strong caramel flavor with a toffee accent; powerful bitterness; the hops are very resiny, piney, and also with a strong bitter orange character.
Old school; pleasant because not sticky; among DIPAs, a quaffable one.

Draught (as Doubble Hopulus) @ The Pike Brewing Co, Seattle, WA

Pours dark orange with a smooth head. Aroma of malts, fruits, citrus and herbal notes. Taste is sweet, malty and herbal with some citrus and grapefruit. Finish is sweet and caramely with some bitterness. A bit too sweet and malty for my taste.

22oz bottle shared by madbeerbaron. Thanks ben. Pours amber wit a half finger of off-white head. Aroma of citrus and grapefruir. Taste is on the sweet side. Big caramel kick in the face but ends with a decent citrus zip. Overall, pretty good. I would drink it again.

22oz bomber courtesy of the MadBeerBaron. Orange-tan body, oily head. Delicate grapefruit aroma. Smooth on the palate for a IIPA. Toasty golden malt. Soft fruity hop tones. Quite nice.

Shared 22oz bottle. Poured a hazy bronze color with a small off-white, light tan head. Plenty of lacing in this one. Aroma is heavy on the hops, with a moderate amount of malt balance to this one. Some sweet citrus fruit notes. A touch boozy, but not too overpowering. Pretty enjoyable.
