Leave a comment

Brewery: Mikkeller ApS
Country: Denmark
ABV: 9.6%
Style: American Double IPA
Other Notes: Brewed by Mikkeller at De Proef Brouwerij, Belgium

Brewer Description: (from bottle) American-style Imperial India Pale Ale.

My rating: 3
My beeradvocate.com rating: 3.44
My ratebeer.com rating: 3.2

Intro: A 330ml bottle, with a best before date of 21st September 2019. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass.
Appearance: A hazy dark copper colour with quite a lot of very small suspended particles, a two finger beige head that had good retention and left behind lots of nice sticky lacing.
Aroma: Caramel maltiness, mango, pine, grapefruit zest and orange rind.
Taste: Sweet, caramel malt, resinous pine, grapefruit, lemon zest, orange peel and brown sugar.
Mouthfeel: Medium to full bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall: Not bad, but it’s not exactly what I want my DIPA’s to be like. Approaching like a Barleywine and on the verge of being too sweet in my opinion. Once is enough for me.

North Park Gimme A 2nd

Brewery: North Park Beer Company
Country: USA
ABV: 8.5%
Style: American Double IPA
Other Notes: Hazy Double IPA

Brewer Description: (from can) Wow, have 2 years gone by already?! Time to party with our first limited can release! We double dry-hopped this one to the point of absurdity with Simcoe, El Dorado, Mosaic, Idaho 7, and Citra, weighing in at seven pounds of hops per barrel. The result is a juicy and aromatic explosion, bursting with tropical fruits, citrus, berries, stone fruit, and dank, piney resins.

Outcast Neon Nightmare

Brewery: Outcast Brewing
Country: Canada
ABV: 7.8%
Style: American Double IPA
Other Notes: 70 IBUs. Double Dry Hopped New England Double IPA

Brewer Description: (from can) Last summer, we released our first canned beer called Neon Dreams. We took that delicious New England style pale ale and turned it up to 11. Aggressively dry hopped twice with citra, mosaic and galaxy hops and fermented with an English yeast strain, this beer is bold but delightfully flavourful. Keep cold and enjoy as fresh as possible!

Taste: Light to moderate bitterness, orange juice, orange peel, grapefruit rind, lightly herbal with a hint of mango and mango smoothie at the end.
Mouthfeel: Medium to full bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall: It was ok. An easy drinking DIPA with great aromas. A bit more bitter than expected for an NEIPA, but not a big problem there.

Intro: A 500ml can, with a best before date of 14th December 2018. Poured into a Spiegelau IPA glass.
Appearance: A lightly hazy golden orange colour with a big three finger cream head that had pretty good retention and left lots of nice lacing.
Aroma: Peach, herbal, lemon peel and some pepper.
Taste: Peach, peach juice, lemon peel, lime and alcohol.
Mouthfeel: Creamy, medium bodied with moderate to low carbonation.
Overall: Aroma didn’t really have enough peach considering its name, and while there was nice peach in the taste, the booziness was quite apparent, and a little overpowering.
