Double Daisy Cutter
Imperial IPA
8% ABV
Appearance: Pours a clear light orange with a beautiful 3 fingers of dense off-white foam.
Smell: Nice bright citrus, grapefruit rind, and clean pine. A touch of herbal grassiness and some caramel.
Taste: Taste follows the nose. Lots of piney bitterness, grassy, light on the citrus, some bitter grapefruit notes. A hint of alcohol and a somewhat nutty finish.
Mouthfeel: Fairly typical mouthfeel for a double IPA. Light to medium bodied, nicely carbonated.
Overall, this is a solid double IPA. Although its not my favorite interpretation of the style, it is well structured. This is one big, piney beer. Very bitter and grassy. If it were just a bit sweeter and fruitier (to balance out the bitterness), I would've loved it. But as it stands, its a very enjoyable brew. I'm a big fan of Half Acre. They make a lot of great beer and they're always releasing new stuff. Look for my review of their new seasonal IPA, Canyon of Heroes, next week. Happy drinking!
