Thunder Canyon Old Humulus Double IPA

This is one of my home brewpubs, and I love their Beers. This is a fine example of the style, very thick and rich with a wonderful hop and citrus aroma. The color is deep amber that reflects the light beautifully. The flavor profile is that of fresh picked hops with a citrus background and a bit bit of pin resin. The mouthfeel is rich and creamy and very chewey. This is one damn fine beer.

Growler, direct from the brewery. Vacationing I felt the draw of a good beer from the parking lot. This beer was a shoe in from the sampler that they offer. Refreshing, hoppy, ass kicking. You pay for it. Coming ad going. You will like it.

Thanks Sebastian. Golden colored ale, with a smooth, creamy and long lasting white head. Appropriate mouth feel. Bright hop aroma showcases notes of lemon and pine. Flavor has some depth and balance to it. I like the malt sweetness, with hints of caramel and biscuit. Vibrant hops as well, with notes of pine and lemon. A nice ale.

Pours a beautiful deep amber color with thin white head. Wonderful aroma of pine and citrus. Nice medium body, hides the alcohol well. Flavor of not overly sweet barley and bountiful hops. Not bitter though (darn). Actually a pretty good balance. Good beer.

Unexpected hand bottle. Green, fresh and minty aroma. Just a small amount of citrus meat (orange and tangerine). Rather thick and heavy aroma, normally associated with pine resin, but not so much here. Citrus zest and outdoors. Pours a thick, hazy dark orange. A thin head leaves decent sticky lacing. Quite full bodied for the style. Thick and heavy with a bit of residual sweetness but never cloying. Flavor is accentuated by orange meat, slight pine resin, tangerine and clementine zest. Some herbalness (there’s the mint again). Hoppy as all getout, but a good dose of bready and slightly toasted caramel malt keep the intense hops in check. Awesome drinkability. Intensely hoppy throughout but remains quite drinkable. Thanks for the awesome treat Sebastian!

From growler @ Mesa Gathering. Pine and dry citrus vine aroma. Amber body with off white head. Citus flavor with a chewy malt texture and medium dryness. Good refreshment.

mesa gathering. growler from bockyhorsey. pours a dark honey color with orange hints. it leaves behind some nice lacing on the glass. caramel and brown sugar aroma with a big dose of piney hops. flavor is loaded with apricots and grapefruit with caramel and piney hops that are not over the top. a little on the sweet side. big rich mouth feel with medium carbonation.

Sampled from growler, courtesy boboski. Orange-copper color with a sparse head. Aroma is moderately piney, slightly peppery, but subdued for a DIPA. Taste has a smooth, strong hop flavor throughout the taste and the finish lingers pleasantly. A very smooth, easy-drinking DIPA.
