kramer (1875), sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 28, 2008 Draft pint at brewery. Pours a slightly hazy gold with a minimal thinnish white head that faded to a thin film. The nose is citrusy hops with a bready and doughy pale malt base, light hints of tangerine. Minimal bitterness for a Double IPA, 65 IBU is a bit of a surprise. Lots of tangerine rind and some grapefruit, long doughy lingering finish. Mouthfeel is thick and a little sticky with lots of clinginess on the finish. Moderate fizzy carbonation. Overall, decent, but far from being a hopheads delight. This is about as good as it gets from this place though. blipp (724), Grand Island, New York, USA Jun 4, 2008 Draft. Pours orange with an off white head. Hoppy, sweet citric, floral aroma. Medium body. Flavor is more bitter than the aroma with lemon, floral, and a light spicyness in the background. Not bad, easy drinking. TomDecapolis (2416), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 8, 2007 Pours a translucent golden amber with a small bubbly off white head. Aroma of orange peel, floral notes, caramel some tropical fruits and lots of fresh hops. Flavor of floral, orange pine, grapefruit, caramel and lght alcohol. Perfumey. jcwattsrugger (3942), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Nov 30, 2007 on tap-pours a light tan head and gold color. Aroma is sweet citrus/lemon hops. Taste is sweet citrus/lemon hops-some bitter, some medium malt, slick, slight alcohol. OK/mild carbonation. JB175 (1327), Holland, Pennsylvania, USA May 16, 2007 Amber color with a medium head. Tropical fruit and grapefruit aroma that is very sweet. Taste has a nice heavy grapefruit bite with some sugary-malt sweetness. Decent enough, but a bit too sweet and off-kilter for a DIPA in my opinion.
