Double Sunshine

Bottle @ home on my son’s first birthday March 14th 2016. Lightly hazy orange golden color, medium to full sized white head that lasts for a decent while. Superb hoppy aroma with tropical fruits and a slight floral note. Fantastic aroma, although it has more of an IPA character to me than an Imperial IPA, I would have loved a little pine and resin in there. Nontheless abdolutely lovely. Tastes light to moderately malty, again loads of hops dominating the initial flavor, fortunately some resin amidst the tropical fruit hops. Nice mix of fruity hop bitter and malt bitterness in the finish. Medium body and carbonation. Absolutely delicious!

On Tap. @V Barcelona Beer Festival.Del 04 al 06/03/2016 Color amarillo, aroma frutal intenso, final amargo. muy buena.

Bomber, picked up at Craft Beer Cellar, Waterbury, and shared, at home, with the missus. Hazy, dark, orangey gold. Bubbly, messy, sticky, white head. A bit leggy. Looks great. Nose is orange marmalade on buttered toast, apparently. I can’t disagree. There’s also tinned peach and pear, for me. Ripe strawberry. Melon. Smells fantastic. Taste is chewy sweet. Robust, fruity, resinous bitter. Feels rich, silky, oily, and hop oil juicy. Stupidly easy drinking. Finishes long, juicy, resinous bitter, with a lasting sweetness on the lips. It’s a bit of a big hitter, this. A stunner.

Bomber bought at Winooski Beverage Warehouse.
This was poured into a Lawson’s tulip.
The appearance was a hazy burnt orange almost brown color with a one finger white to off white foamy head that concaved gracefully to leave some bubbles inside of a thin white cap.
The smell starts off with a sweet onion up front and then some light tropical fruits and a delicate sweet and bitter sprucy piney stickiness.
The taste was mainly bitter backed up by a light sweet tropical fruit revolving around the pine. Bitter sticky piney-ness leading into the aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium in body with a good sipping quality and a danky sweet stickiness clinging to my tongue. Some slight hop oils lay down to want to allow a certain slick feel, but still indicates a well balanced oily to slick and clinginess on my tongue.
Overall, what a wonderful DIPA that I know I would have again.

Bottle thanks to Rob. Pours a cloudy orange with medium frothy off white head that lasts leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is strong floral, tropical fruit, and dank. Thick mouth, grapefruit, pine, juicy, nice resin finish, very impressive.

Flavor is a rush of sweet fruit, fleshy orange, less intense than smell. Low carbonation and low lying bitterness.

After one of the early kegs kicked at Blind Tiger’s VSK night they threw this gem on causing almost a stampede to the bar. Pours orange golden with fluffy white head. Nose of huge tropical fruit. This is bursting with juicy hop flavors, pineapple, mangoes, grapefruit, some pepper and earthy bitterness. Drying finish with medium body, fresh and delicious and amazing

Bottle, big thanks to Leighton! Consumed at the Tuesday Horal Chugging Tasting. It pours hazy pale gold with a thick, fluffy yellow-white head. The nose is soft, doughy, farmhouse, toasty, mild spice, grass and sweet tangerine. The taste is smooth, crisp, bitter-sweet, dough, orange, grapefruit, tangerine, peppery, creamy, toast and grassy with a crisp, bitter finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Smooth and utterly drinkable. Great stuff.
