REVIEW:
Appearance (5%):
Poured clear dark golden into a pint glass. White head. 4.25/5Smell (25%): Dank, piney, resinous, slight tropical malt. Inviting. 4/5
Taste (40%): Dank and hop-bitter from start to finish. Mostly piney and resinous throughout, perhaps a bit of tropical grapefruit. Definitely bitter, but whether it's 150 IBUs is all subjective. It wasn't too bitter for me. 4/5
Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, some carbonation. Dry tongue with lingering bitterness. 4/5
Overall (20%): A great Double IPA. I honestly got this beer mostly from the sad puppy face and eyes on the bottle and 4-pack holder (well played, Crazy Mountain Brewing). I was also intrigued about this being touted as 150 IBUs. While the IBU portion is usually all subjective, this one had good hop-bitterness to it without being overwhelming, at least on my palate. Price is about what I expected. Overall, I'd get this one again. 4/5
Final Weighted Rating: 4.013/5
