Backlog October 2016. Slightly unclear orange golden body under a small white head. Aroma has malt, caramel and citric fruit. Taste is sweet and malty, light caramel, citric fruit and relatively bitter. Balanced body and nice aftertaste with a bitter finish. Quite straight forward classic IPA, but made very well.

From Apr 2007

This one pours from 22oz waxed cap bottle a clear amber gold with a large head of foam that shrank slowly leaving a ring around the glass with good lacing.

The smell is dominated by sweet caramel malt but has a bit of grapefruit in the background.

The taste on first is big on the caramel malt that I mentioned in the smell. I'm also getting a bit of dark fruit...mostly plum.
Further sips in and some grain begins to show up along with some hop bitterness, actually more of a pungency, that makes up most of the finish. There *seems* to be an almost empty spot between the caramel malt and the hop finish, other than some graininess, and *that* comes across to me as a bit watery. The alcohol is hidden pretty well so the only thing I consider negative is that darn empty spot and it *does* affect the overall taste experience for me...

Bottom line: I'm glad I tried this DIPA but it's not one that I'd seek out again. Unless the flavours became more consistent.
