Hornet’s Nest Double IPA from Saco River Brewing

7.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
16 oz. can Stamped 5-25-18. Purchased at 7-11, Kittery, ME. Bright cloudy yellow appearance. Aroma is mild grapefruit with mango hint, light florals. Flavor is a reflection with a stern amount of bitterness. Alcohol is barely detectable. Easily the best of the 3 cans I sampled from this brewery. I would sample more based in this DIPA.

6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 4 Overall 6.5
16 oz. can Stamped “Citra / Vic Secret” on the bottom. Purchased at 7-11, Kittery, ME. Murky bright yellow. Aroma is citrus fruits mixed with a mild earthy green hint. Flavor consists of herbal grass mixed with lemon rind. The carbonation was really low which gave the mouthfeel a near “flat” feel.
