Brewed using German Pilsner malt, Scottish ale malt, and English crystal malt. True to fashion, we added a LOT of hops, using Azacca and Amarillo. We chose not to filter this beer, preferring to “fine” it instead.

Growlette share with my bud.
I poured mine into a tulip.
The appearance was a murky burnt orange color with a quickly dissipating finger’s worth of white foamy head. Mild milky white colored foaminess slides around the glass in a graceful sticky sort of way.
The aroma takes in some grapefruit bitter rind. Light caramel burnt backbone.
The flavor brings the sweet malts and hops forward to savor some of the bitterness nicely. A touch of dry bitter rind hits the aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionable smooth feel to it. Good carbonation. Low riding bitterness.
Overall, nice level DIPA, just seems well centered all around. I would have again.

Draft at the brewery, 7/6/15
It's actually fairly similar to the IPA from a component standpoint (tropical, pine), but some astringency comes through that hurts the enjoyment level a bit for me. Still, I thought this was a solid DIPA, but it could use some rounding out to get it up to the next level.

A golden amber dipa with a thin lacing off white head. In aroma, caramel malt with grassy resinous hops, doughy character, ok. In mouth, a sweet caramel malt with Scotch alcohol burn, grassy hops, astringent and a bit rough. On tap at Vermont tap house.
