Appearance- nice orange and golden color. Fluffy white head that leaves some lace. A bit hazy
Aroma - fruity yeast, citrus rinds, mango, pineapple, and caramel in the nose. It has a little something vegetale possibly onion.
Flavor- Pine, and fruit(apricot, grapefruit rind) hit you right way but then it finish's sweet with just a little bitterness. The bitterness hits you more as it warms and lingers. Nice balanced flavor of caramel sweetness on the finish. The bitterness isn't harsh at all but very mellow and clean (fwh?)
Mouthfeel - Medium mouthfeel with medium carbonation that helps the hop flavor shine. Extremely drinkable and now fusels to let you know that this is 9%.
Overall - I could drink this all day long. They could easily sell this year round and make a lot of hop heads happy. People may say that this isn't bitter enough, but true to New Glarus this is an extremely balance beer. The aroma is fantastic, the flavor and everything about this beer is just right on!
Grade- A (very Dank)
Here's what they say about it!
A provocative 85 IBUs reverberates cleanly through this Double IPA. True hop saturation from kettle boil to dry hop cellaring dominates this elegant and lustful sensory enchantment. You hold a deceptively seductive Original Gravity of 19.2 Plato, now 9%ABV following the always 100% natural bottle fermentation. Luscious English Maris Otter malt is the essential heart of this voluptuous double IPA. Surrender is inevitable so enjoy now.
