Double IPA, 10% ABV
Bottled August 2010
Appearance: Deep burnt orange/amber color, appears to be mildly carbonated. Head leaves sticky lacing around glass.
Smell: Wood, musk, hops and light malt.
Taste: Earthy, hoppy, slightly metallic, a bit of honey.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied, carbonation is very light.
Overall: A very average IPA. The metallic taste may be due to the age of the beer, because though it's less than a year old it may still be past its prime. Beyond that, though, there didn't seem to be a very good flavor profile or balance to the beer. I didn't pick up on any particular notes beyond the bitter hoppiness and a vague overall earthy flavor. A bit disappointed by this one, but as it appears to be very well reviewed elsewhere, I'm considering the possibility that I just may have a bad bottle and should probably try it again if I get the chance.
2/5
