This complex double India Pale Ale has an intense citrus and floral hop aroma balanced by a velvety malt body augmented with lactose milk sugar. With this different take on an IPA we have brewed an ale that is both pleasing to drink and once again “not normal.”

Pours a slightly hazy dark amber from a can. Big malt, juicy syrup and pine aroma and flavor. Okay beer.

16 ounce can from Trenton Road Takeout in Falsington, PA. Listed at 8.6% ABV. Hazy orange gold color. Large frothy beige head. Citrus hop aroma. Juicy, tropical fruit flavor has a sharp bitter presence. Some warming alcohol as well. Soft mouthfeel leads to a bitter bitter finish.

Can shared by explosivedog: pretty clear with white head. Aroma is fruity, and I think I smell lactose, tangerine or something. Taste is sweet, lightly bitter, smooth. Tasty.

Hazy orange-brown body, thin tight cream head. Nose and body dank, leafy, and sweet, with tobacco, bubblegum, citrus, and lactose. Excellent balance with gentle booziness.

22 ounce bottle into signature teku glass, bottled on 6/15/2017. Pours slightly hazy golden amber/light orange color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, papaya, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, light pepper, pine, honey, light caramel, lightly toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops, lactose, and moderate dark/bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, papaya, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, light pepper, pine, honey, light caramel, lightly toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, papaya, lemon/orange peel, citrus rind, pepper, pine, honey, light caramel, lightly toasted bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops, lactose, and moderate dark/bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from bitterness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy/sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 8.6%. Overall this is an incredible DIPA! All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops, lactose, and moderate dark/bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the balanced bitter/drying finish. Very vibrant, juicy, and lightly dank hops; great malt balance, without being overly sweet or heavy feeling. Feels like a slightly sweeter Dreadnaught. Very similar on hop profile and bitterness. A highly enjoyable offering.
