Pours a rich glowing orange brown with a fantastic creamy fine off-white froth on top. Rich malty, honey, fresh hop, grapefruit, pineapple and piney aroma. Earthy flavor, piney with lesser notes of grapefruit, honey, citrus and grass. A little bit salty/resiny. Light waxy mouthful with medium fine carbonation bubbles. So easy drinking for an IIPA. Reminds me a bit of Goose Island Imperial in drinkability/malt profile, but without the Belgian yeast. Yum.. the definition of double IPA!

The name says it all. You know what you’re expecting when you buy it. Hops and it’s Bells. C’mon. No complaints.

12oz bottle. Pours a slightly hazed deep golden color with a faint orange hue. A wispy off white head with great lacing rounded off the appearance. Bursting with floral hops and citrus. A great bitter finish with good malt balance.

BOTTLE: 8277. Dark clear golden color with off white thick head. Aroma is soooo inviting with a nice hoppiness that isn’t overwhelming. Flavor is strong and bitter but excellent finish that lasts and lasts. Strong alcohol content does not come through and leaves an extremely pleasant and refreshing beer.

Pours orangish, aroma is strong citrus, and pine. Flavor is very nice. Potent and delightful at the same time. Amazing DIPA

Strong fruit, pine and citrius aroma. This beer punches the tongue with bitterness and it hangs on for a long dry finish. A fantastic lively double IPA

A well balanced DIPA, but I wanted it to be more bitter than it was. The honey really does balance the beer well.

Orange color with a minimal soapy head. Aroma is oranges, pine, candi yams, and perfume. The flavor is rather bitter with some caramel, pine, oranges, brown sugar. Overall this is a good beer.
