This beer poured a clear orange color with a thick, white head with a moderate degree of retention. Upon first whiff, I was greeted with a complex aroma that combined fruity esters, deep malt sweetness and citrusy hops. The beer’s flavor profile similarly included citrusy hops up front followed by solid maltiness and a fruity juiciness that encompassed both flavor and mouthfeel -- as did its gentle alcohol warming consistent with the style’s character. Altogether, this was a very good Double IPA whose only drawback was some mild hop astringency in the finish.
