Bottle, bought @ Vinens Verden, Odense.
Pours light hazy pale amber with a small creamy white head. Nice look, actually. Absolutely stunning aroma! Very fruity, very hoppy. Peach, grapefruit, oranges, apples and pine. Nice carbonation and very dry mouthfeel. Flavour is good as well, a biscuity backbone to the diluge of hops. The fruitiness prevails in the taste. Really nice IIPA.

Heavy hoppy aroma. Average, frothy, white head. Fair lacing. Mostly diminishing longevity. Clear yellow body. Heavy bitter flavor. Medium palate.

big ups to riversideAK for the bomber... hazy brownish orange color with a creamy off white head. rings of soft lacing are left on the inside of the glass. seriously hoppy aroma... blue spruce, fresh grapefruit juice, light bubblegum, orange, aromatic floral and oh yeah, some caramel. the flavor doesn’t live up to frenzy i just worked up in the aroma (i’m not sure if it’s and old bottle or if it was intended to be this restrained) any way... the palate is nice and dry with notes of iodine (think steamed blue crabs), caramel, iced tea, light pine and some charcoal/ash. loads of floral and piney hops surround my face the entirety and linger in the aftertaste. medium body with a nice soft mouth feel... i’m sure this is killer fresh from the taps...

Shared by Dickinsonbeer. Hazy deep orange, almost amber in color with a medium off white head. Aroma- is a good amount of fresh grapefruit as well as light flowery notes, with some molasses hanging around in the back. Taste seems more like an ASA, and bordering on a barleywine rather than an IIPA. Body gets a bit syrupy and the hops are there in the form of citrus, but they get lost in the malt backbone somewhat. Bitterness builds up and becomes moderate to heavy in the finish. Thanks Paul.

Bottle. Creamy white excellent mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Fantastic powerfull hopy aroma, still malty notes is present. Heavy bitter flavor. More citrus notes than perfumed flowers taht you normally finds in DIPA. Very creamy palate. this beer scores so high because the malt is distinct and the hopps fabulous.

Ballast Point Dorado is an indian storytelling which overrules most. This beer questions the charecter 5.0. Why not?

Beautiful clear golden color with a somewhat okay head. Very hoppy, like drinking a skyless summer day...
