Best Of Beer Camp: Double IPA - Beer Camp #29
Poured from 12 oz. bottle into a Sam Adams perfect pint glass. Appearance: Bright golden orange with lots of bubbles. Good sized two finger white head that has very good retention and lacing. Smell: Big aroma of piney and citrus hops with a good amount of grapefruit and other citrus fruits. Hops have a lightly spiced aroma. Light aroma of caramel malts. Taste: Much like it smells. Big taste of pine and citrus hops up front giving a strong bitterness. Grapefruit and other citrus fruits help back it up with a decent amount of fruity sweetness. Light taste of caramel and toffee malts in the background. Mouthfeel: Medium body with a moderate amount of carbonation. Smooth and somewhat creamy. Overall: A very good DIPA. A good mix of strong hops gets the taste close to the level of Hopslam and Double Trouble.
