Utah Get Me 2 by Honor Brewing was judged as Style 22A, Double IPA, according to the 2021 BJCP Style Guidelines. 
The pour revealed a golden hue with a very good carbonation level. The aroma had a nice malt sweetness and subtle hops. The first taste revealed a nice malt sweetness and subtle hop bitterness. The hop bittering was not as noticeable and straightforward as I would like for this style. I would have liked it to be upfront, making it clearer that this was a DIPA. I also detected a slight off-flavor that was very difficult to distinguish and describe. The body and mouthfeel of this beer was medium and the carbonation level was good. Overall, the too-subtle hop bittering and strange off-flavor were difficult to overcome in this beer.
