Sep 21, 2009 Another nice DIPA I enjoy. Balanced and on the tropical side. Some nice citrus zest and faint pine. Some quality malts and nice body, creamy mouthfeel with a slight bitter finish.

Sep 14, 2009 Location: Cask at Rattle ’N’ Hum, 9/13/09
Part of the Gotham Cask Festival
Aroma: Big, hoppy nose, lots of earthy hops, some grass, citrus (orange, pineapple), resin
Appearance: Nice amber color in the glass, pretty small head from the cask at least
Flavor: Lots of hoppy bitterness, a bit if a bready malt backbone for balance
Palate: Medium body with a bit of creamy mouthfeel
Overall Impression:
From the cask at least, this beer is quite tasty. It doesn’t very far from the standard San Diego DIPA formula, but that it quite all right, as it is one hell of a formula. A simple, straight-forward beer for all the West Coast hop fans out there.

Sep 14, 2009 Bottle generously shared by psprings -- thanks, neighbor! Pours a candied shade of apricot from the bomber with a crisp off-white head. Smells of melted dreamsicle against a backdrop of hops. So sweet and attractive I expected bees to start swarming around the glass. Tastes much like it smells with added notes of chewy caramel and malt. A really memorable DIPA.

Sep 13, 2009 The Dorado DIPA is completely top-notch. It isn’t quite as good as DFH’s 90 Mintue or the Hop Stoopid, but it is delicious in its own right. The beer pours a beautiful and clear golden color with a big and generous white head. The head leaves a good amount of lacing around the glass. The nose is full of hops, grass, citrus, grapefruit, slight yeast and earth. The body is smooth and totally drinkable. I downed a 12oz glass in a matter of minutes, only to follow it up with another. The flavors are well-rounded and balanced, with a crisp hoppiness balanced with an earthy and semi-bready malty character. The finish is quite dry and spicy. This is a great example of the double IPA style.
