Serum injects the Double IPA style with a fresh dose of big hop flavor. This medium- bodied amber nectar boasts a thin tan head, big hoppy floral bouquet, slippery, luxurious mouthfeel and strong 9% abv. While aggressively hoped at several stages of the brewing process, including a gradual two week dry-hopping, Serum remains incredibly well balanced by a smooth malt sweetness and through to its lingering, bitter finish. First released as a seasonal beer in 2004, but now available all year round, so get your dose!

Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange color with a one finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: floral to semi-sweet grassy hops up front of a fairly clean caramel/toffee malt base
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together fairly bittersweet; mild aftertaste of floral hops and those malts
Texture: medium bodied, some sipping quality to this; bitterness tries to make this somewhat astringent on the tongue; finishes with the bitter hoppy bite and a light floral tone to it
Overall: decently enough DIPA - possibly could come back to this.
