This was poured into a snifter, bottle dated 07/15/16, but I decided on reviewing it because everything seemed to be coming across very nice. Here’s the rest.
The appearance was a bronzed burnt amber/almost brown color with a sly transparency to it. Carbonation could be seen rising at a nice pace. Finger’s worth of lasting head maintains for a good minute before dissipating nicely. Lacing seems good and adequate, somewhat messy yet thin.
The aroma takes in a ton of big sweet danky onion over top of some sly citrusy hops. Old school malt backbone seems to hit very nicely, no where close to being overly done, just seems to be right there.
The flavor seems brings in the qualities of the aroma nice and bitter and then forms into more of a combined bittersweetness between the hops and the malts. Beautiful transition from aftertaste to finish was executed very nicely.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sipping quality to it. Yes, given the name, I wanted to gulp it (maybe slightly), but the sweet dankiness does help alleviate some of the leeway of the bite from the hops. Damn nice balance!
Overall, despite the age, this was a very nicely done DIPA that I could come back to, most definitely! I can only imagine what this is like fresh!

Draft. A golden beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of hops and straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel and hops, leading to a bitter finish.

22oz bomber pours with a crystal clear gold body that supports a near white head of foam. The aroma offers up mango, tangerines, a dash of pineapple and then spicy dank onion. The taste is similar with spicy onion bitter dankness, smooth mango and cantaloupe flowing into a pineapple and tangerine hop fruitiness. This is rich and juicy with plenty of spicy bitter onion like notes to create a pleasing balance. Solid.

Bright clear gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is light and crispy. Mild malts, a nice light level of sweetness, trace of cream. Orange and tangerine hop, spicy pine. Light orange peel and a nice touch of sweetish mango. Light and hop spicy finish. Another super clean and mondo drinkable DIPA from Knee Deep. Lovely stuff.

22 oz bottle from Hoboken Vine. Pours a clear golden orange with a sheeting beige head. Drippy lacing. Citrus rind, some herbal notes, pine, grass, and earth ask come through on the aroma. Tastes mid-heavy sweet and fairly bitter. Medium body. Dry close.

Bomber from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours bright coppery gold with a white head. Aroma is so strongly citrus that ancient Egyptians could use it for embalming. Near full bodied. It’s hoppy citrus. Some malt/caramel seems down in the abyss. It’s not dank. Don’t think citrus qualifies. But this is so hoppy and so bitter. My body will endure for the ages! Know that! Yummy stuff.
