Can - hazy gold with a thick, well-sustained lace - soft texture - moderate sweetness leads, followed by some spicy and dusty yeast, white grape - a tangy acidity through the middle, followed by some pear - finish is moderately bitter and medium dry, with some lingering acidity - I dig it.

Can - the addition of Tettnag is an interesting choice in this style, and adds a spicy and floral character that gives this a little more depth - some tangy citrus, camphor, white pepper - quite a spicy finish - I dig this one.

Can - turbid orange pour - lots of citrus and weedy dankness to this one, with a moderate sweetness through the middle that accentuates the citrus notes - a bit more assertively bitter than other hazy ipas, which is fine by me - some camphor and garlic on the back end lessen the enjoyment a bit - it’s decent.

Can - lightly hazy gold - the citra hops are actually what hit to nose first, so for a quick sec I thought, “did I just open one of their ipas instead?” - but some clove and pepper yeast character quickly follow - a bit syrupy and heavy for the style, with some baked apple and pear, followed by some quasi-messy yeast phenolics that get quite spicy near the finish, as the hop character swells I’m behind it - some background starchy character - overall a little messy and far too sweet.

On tap at Murphy's Tap House in Louisville. Pours cloudy yellow/golden with a small white head, good lacing. Citrus, grapefruit, herbal and pine. Good

Can - here I am, once again suckered into trying an Outer Range beer (I’ve got yet another one waiting in the fridge) - and once again, I’m trying one that reminds me why I keep coming back - because they sometimes nail it - much like the dipa version of this same beer, this is a lovely combination of citrus, white grape, and dankness, with a quenching acidity, with some finishing sweetness to balance - it is quite nice.

Lovely imperial stout, rich and deep yet also surprisingly easy-drinking. Loads of dark chocolate and anise are backed up by heavy notes of dark fruit, char, molasses, cascara, and caramel. Finishes dry and more medium-bodied than you'd expect. Tasty pint.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6
Can - hazy gold with a thick, fairly well-sustained head - taste is sugary sweet and a bit thin - some tropical and citric notes, white grape, herbal bitterness - but also some garlic cattiness, especially in the finish - tail end is sweetness and citrus, tasting a bit like orange juice - I want to digress here for a moment to say I don’t really “get” DDH hazy ipas - you take a style that’s aim is basically to make a hoppy beer with low bitterness, then you DDH that motherfucker, thus adding more bitterness? It just seems like a way to justify charging a lot more money by making the beer needlessly more expensive to makes- just sayin’.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 5.5
Can - lightly hazy light amber - indistinct, malt-forward lager that does not know what it’s going for - it has the toasty maltiness of a Vienna, but also the caramelized malt richness of a Marzen - this would all be fine if the fermentation were clean, but it is not - it’s not so messy and unclean that I’d call it completely unenjoyable, but there’s so much good lager out there right now - and at 14 bucks for four pints, the quality to price point ratio is certainly lacking here.
