Central City Double Crown IPA

Gorgeous pour: a thick mass of foam sits atop a bedrock of amber fluid. The head lasts long and leaves light lacing. Piquant fresh hop aroma. Cannabis forward in nose and taste. Body avoids the syrupy thickness that can plague I2PAs. It is too one-dimensional to be big-bodied, but I welcome the refreshingly light nature of a beer with 8.5%ABV. I could drink several of these in succession. The hop assault kicks ass, beating any residual malt into oblivion. I like that, which is why I think this is overall a killer beer. (from growler procured from brewery Nov 5)

Hazy deep amber,lasting beige head.Fresh citrus hop nose.Citrus hop profile,lots of hops in finish, both bitter & citrus. Needs more malt presence, but still a solid effort.

pours a amber color with a nice head. A very strong hoppy taste and aroma. enjoyable but couldn’t drink more and 1 growler

Growler from brewery. Pours bright amber orange with a thick soapy head leaving a good amount of lace on the glass. Huge orange, grapefruit hop aromas. An Amarillo bomb. The freshness of the hops in this beer are outstanding again orange, grapefruit, big bitter component. Quite a malt presence in this as well but it’s sweetness goes well with the citric hops and also gives the beer quite a full mouthfeel. Dangerously drinkable, I must have killed half the growler in one sitting. A great rendition of the I2PA.

Was very tipsy with this rating so I’ll have to re-rate soon... Growler: Pours a medium amber with a light off white head. Heavy hop nose with a new carpet smell? Flavour was nicely balanced if a little maltier than I expected it to be. more to follow...
