Aug 24, 2008 Had the Captain Lawrence Double IPA on tap at Delaney’s In New Haven. It pours a dark yellow or off orange - it is hard to put your fingers on this color. The head is amazing and the lacing is sick. the lacing follows you down the glass to near perfection. It smells hoppy but not in a way that will blow out your senses because it appears to be well balanced in both aroma and taste. This is probably one of the smoothest Imperial IPAs I have ever had. It is bitter but there is also that malt backbone that keeps it from ripping your taste buds apart.

Jul 27, 2008 Draft at CL. Dark golden straw in color. Hugely pungent, enticing nose of crystalline-sugared hop cones, citrus fruit, honey, clean, husky straw-scented malts, and a light dose of creamy yeast. Flavor is rich, sharp, exciting, pungent and bright, centers on mandarin oranges, some fainter grapefruit and melon notes, texture is somewhat oily and full but very smooth and palatable. Supremely delicious.

Jul 23, 2008 Growler, thanks ogglethorp: Pours a translucent amber-orange. Aroma is buttery pine hops very strongly, and a citrus undertone. Very full flavor here, with a very strong pine bomb on the palate, and a higher than average bitter finish. Solid.

Jul 2, 2008 Growler from Big Z’s, Huntington, NY. Pours an orange/brown with a small thick white head. Aroma predominantly of grapefruit, also some citrus, pine, and grassy hops. Flavor of bitter citrus hops, nice cookie malt. Very thick mouthfeel. For 8%, this is quite syrupy and hard to drink. I liked the aroma but the palate is too thick and muddies up the flavors.

Jul 2, 2008 Growler. Awesome aroma of intense, tangy grapefruit, sweet green grape. Flavor got a little muddy for me with the distinct aromatic characters getting lost amidst thick, semi-sweet malt, and turning to little more than balancing bitterness. Tasty, but not my kind of DIPA.
