Tap at 23 Craft Beerz. Light orange fruitiness, bit tingly, some bitterness at the finish. Aroma is bit stinky, orange again and sweet. Something not quite there though.

Bryggarnas ölbar. Extremt maltig i doften! Barley wine varning men bara 8% alkohol!. Smakar maltsötma med mycket blåa druvor. Bra beska som tar över mer å mer. Fin avslutning . Extremt maltig Dipa med hög efterbeska. Ok Dipa i PQ stil.

Bottle. Should be fresh according to the store. Unfortunately, it’s still a boring, old school hoppy American strong ale. It’s a medium to light golden amber color. Medium white head. Plenty of lacing. Some legs. The aroma is all bubblegum crystal malt sweetness. There’s some muddy, boring hops in the mix. Pine, juniper, a little citrus. Pelican has aggressively embraced the innovations of the 1980s craft beer scene with this one. The taste is lightly sweet. Just some sorta woodsy caramel toastiness from that big, old malt backbone. It’s medium bitter with no significant hop character. Just some pine resin and a little citrus peel. Medium body. Long bittersweet finish. Just pure boring, old school beer. It’s made well and I’m sure it has a grand history as a mainstay of this longstanding bulwark of the PNW craft beer scene, but I just don’t care. There are a myriad of better beers on the shelf, nowadays, and I don’t understand why a beer store would bring this one in if it doesn’t already have a fanbase among the customers.

22oz bomber. I bought this bc its the fresh 50th anniversary edition. Unfortunately, its as bad as I thought. Bland, cleaning product indistinct hops. This is what I hate with beer like this. Complete waste of time.

Treated as a DIPA, this was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a hazy golden semi-transparent orange color with a slim quarter finger’s worth of foamy head that dissipated within less than a minute. Light trickling messy lacing roams around the glass.
The smell takes sweet citrus to combine with bitter citrus rind. Light honey tones smooth it out a bit.
The taste was bittersweet as it combined the previously mentioned flavors. A light crisp sweet citrus to honey aftertaste rolled into a quick wet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a good sipping quality about it. Carbonation is mostly smooth allowing the bitterness to somewhat take the lead on the harshness.
Overall, this was a pretty good DIPA that I’m sure I’d have again.

Bomber from Winooski Beverage. Hazy amber, large dense fizzy tan head, food retention. Aroma of grain, caramel, piney and spicy hops. The taste is caramel malt, menthol, tropical fruits, citrus, pine. Medium bodied, low carbonation, a bit flaccid, moderate lingering bitterness.
