Supercool Double IPA

12 oz. can. Pours a hazy, orange color, with a big, bubbly, white head. The aroma is caramel, celery, pine, caramel, and some syrup. Some bitterness, with a bit of sugary sweetness. Medium to heavy body, with a thick, sticky mouthfeel. This is probably old, but still not too bad.

Not a good DIPA, too sweet and lacking a defining hop profile, instead offering up hints of citrus and pine, but mostly growing medicinal on the sugary back end. Malts offer corn sweetness rather than caramel or toasted grain, and the slight mandarin orange, grapefruit, and lemon juiciness seems too little too late. Pours a slightly hazed amber-gold with a brief white head and good lacing. Nose is malt and wet cardboard and pine. Texture's appropriate. Pretty disappointing pint.
