#100 DIPA. Thx! to Kraddel. 650 ml. bottle sampled @ Barely Legal Tasting Room. Hazy golden with some white bubbles for a head. Smells of sweat actually, sweet dough, mellow grass and light bitter grass. Taste of light bitter grass, coupled with sweet dough, touch bitter hay, light fruit, orange, sweet bread. Body is sweet dough and yeast. Nothing wrong here is an an enjoyable DIPA, easy enough to drink but nothing overly impressive which is a bit puzzling seeing Toppling Goliath’s reputation and this being the first beer that I try by them.

From the April 2014 3R6P gathering. +++ Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a cloudy yellow-gold color with a small soapy off white head that left a bit of lacing. The aroma was bitter, somewhat tart and had notes of herbal hops, pine and pineapple. The flavor was bitter and tart pine, herbal hops, pineapple, a brief sweet spike and then more bitterness. Long bitter herbal, pine and pineapple finish. Moderately full bodied. Solid.

Draught at EBF, 3/22/14
Pale amber gold, moderate white head. High clarity.
Strong hop acids give off lots of white grapefruit and pine. Medium sweet malts combine with the citrus to produce a pretty typical candied orange nose. Leafy, fresh and almost earthy-like, though there is some sappy pine on the end that the sugars arent able to mop up. Alcohol dryness is felt on the end as well and mixes with some baked brown bread and sourdough notes.
Lots of c-hop notes here. Marmalade seems the most dominant of them, as the citrus mixes with lightly dry pine resins and sourdough-like maltiness. Much less sweet/malty than the King Sue, so in that regard it goes down a bit easier, but conversely, the dryness really allows the heavy citric/pine hop assault to flag at the palate and some perfumey alcohol notes keep it pretty harsh. Well brewed beer, just too aggressive for me.

Flavour is weird, grassy, spicy hop, hop resin. Clean bready malt, light biscuit. Mellow light bitterness. Sticky resinous palate, low carbonation.

Bottle shared at Craft Clerko, massive thanks to Ryan for generously leaving this one with us, 25/10/13. Hazed pale golden with a decent sized white head. Nose is bitter citrics, light piss, dank hops, orange sherbet, grapefruit, mineral notes. Taste comprises jammy tropicals, orange sherbet, pine resin, grapefruit, citric zestballs. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi aggressive hop bitterness at the curtain call. Good DIPA, ABV well integrated, very drinkable, maybe lacks a little depth.
