Poor Man's Double IPA
Reviewed from notes. This was one 4.5 oz. taster of a flight of four I sampled at PP Carlsbad. Simply a great IPA. Maybe one of the best I've ever had, at least to my personal tastes. Glowing orange gold vibe. The nose on this is so pungent! Flowers, pine, and strong citrus come wafting out. The lady next to me at the bar sampled her BF's and said, "This tastes like weed!" It is bright at first taste with lots of tropical fruits, pineapple, orange, and, maybe my favorite flavor, lime zest! There is a substantial bitterness that kicks in, which is good. For all the fantastic flavors it had, it could have been a little too sweet, but some nice flower and rind notes return from the nose. Great IPA.
