This complex Double India Pale Ale has an intense citrus and floral hop aroma balanced by a velvety malt body which has been augmented with lactose milk sugar. With this different take on an IPA, we have brewed an ale that is both please to drink, and once again, "Not Normal."

22oz bottle. Poured hazy golden with a small off-white head. Aroma was floral/citrus hops, fruit, and light caramel malt. Very prominent apricot flavor, sweet caramel, grapefruit, and a dry bitter finish. Medium bodied with some light carbonation. Very nice. My 15 year old saw the bottle and commented on the awesome name and laughed at the artwork.

Sample from a bottle at the Day Before Labor Day party. The beer pours a cloudy golden color with a medium off-white head that recedes steadily. Thin rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral hops, pine and malt. Medium body with flavors of piney hops, vanilla, malt and flowers. The finish is hoppy with a malty undercurrent that leaves a lingering sweetness. Solid IIPA overall.

Bottled. A hazy dark golden beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has strong notes of hops lending it primarily notes of lemon. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of lemons, but also light notes of alcohol, leading to a dry and very bitter finish.

Draft at FFF. Thick, unfiltered orange-tan. Steady beigish head. This is an awesome IIPA, one of my favorites of 2010. Lots of citrus, orange, grapefruit flavors and aromas, with a creamy malt backbone. Wow, so much hop character, but retains an awesome balance and palatability. Excellent world class beer.

Draft at Pizzeria Paradiso, courtesy of RJ - thank you sir! Glow-in-the-dark orange, very murky, edge head. Aroma of orange peel, coriander, clove. Taste of hop flowers! Very intense, with much more flavor than bitterness. Finish of wet grass. Very nice.
