satan165 (540), River Grove, Illinois, USA Dec 18, 2008 cloudy ruby pour. nice chalky head. nose of booze and a big balance -- big malt is terrorized by hops. big nose of booze though considering this is only 8%. big balance in the taste and again a slight bite of booze but small burn. this is almost a better strong ale then an IIPA, id almost prefer less balance and more overwhelming hops for the style. still this is good stuff. mouthfeel is low on the syrup scale. not a totally clean finish but it doesnt hang out like the worst of them. puggy211 (576), cordova, Tennessee, USA Dec 17, 2008 bottle) lovely dark amber with moderate off-white head. Pine aroma jumps out. But the hops aren’t as obvious in the flavor, and it has a slightly soapy finish,overall easy drinking dipa. tmoreau (525), Lombard, Illinois, USA Dec 10, 2008 12 oz. bottle, snifter served. Deep amber pour with an off white head and nice, clingy lace. The aroma has more pine than citrus, a little floral scent, and a bit of soapiness. Flavor is light fruit, resin, and citrus, a little malty sweetness with a modest hop bitterness, but not imperial caliber. coyotehunter (542), , Michigan, USA Dec 6, 2008 Bottle. not bad..pours an amber with a thin head...decent aroma of pine and citrus. First drink good, those thereafter not so good. rather watery and sad. Ive had better but Ive had a lot worse too. blipp (1612), Newark, New Jersey, USA Dec 1, 2008 Bottle. Pours red orange with a beige head. Sweet hoppy aroma with citrus fruits. The flavor is well balanced with sweet malt and citric hops. Pretty good. yesyouam (587), Fairport, New York, USA Nov 28, 2008 Arcadia Hopmouth Double IPA is a hazy amber ale with a dense, off-white head that has great lacing and retention. It has a piney aroma. It is medium bodied, soft and foamy, with a clean finish. It’s a little sweet, juicy, citrusy, resiny and piney. It has good balance. A great IPA! milljam (562), Norman, Oklahoma, USA Nov 28, 2008 Strong hops on the nose....citrusy grapefruit most prevalent. Hops present front to back in the flavor...grapefruit, piney resin....also a decent malt presence. chicagodri (1021), Chicago, Illinois, USA Nov 27, 2008 I was a little surprised I hadn’t had this beer already. Pours a copper color with a thin off white head. Big hop aroma of citrus and pine. Well balanced. I thought this was a very solid imperial IPA. Great flavor.
