Dennis: If I hadn't read the label on the side of the beer you would have never convinced me that this brew was 10%. Despite the Double IPA label, this beer comes across so balanced and tasty I just can't imagine where they hid it. Certainly not the hoppiest brew I've ever had, the malts usually come across as overly sweet, but not in this glass they don't. Thin, good malt balance, surprisingly not too many hops. A very very good way to pop some one's cherry to the Double IPA style.
Jen: I love me some DIPA, and I had high hopes for this one, only to be slightly let down. Yeah, it is a good brew, but it isn't wowing me. For a double IPA, the hops are extremely masked by the malts, which leave a slightly sour after taste in my mouth. The one thing about this brew that does wow me, is the absence of any alcohol bite, and that is a lot to say about a 10% brew. Easy to drink, and pretty decent, but not that spectacular that I was hoping for!
Rating: 3.75 out of 5
