Grade: A- (4.15 out of 5)
Top100: #66
From batch #9901. I’ve been drinking a lot of DIPA’s lately, of the top quality variety, and I have to say that this tastes like the rest. I wish I could say I see the reason why Oedipus is going to poke out his eyes or something. But it’s just… normal. Normal for great, that is.
Appearance is a murky amber, low head on initial pour, but impressive lacing throughout the drink. The smell is great – piney, floral, bit of citrus and caramel. Taste is solid. Hops forward and strong, bit of malts there, boozy finish that takes away from its strengths.
Mouthfeel is great with a medium body and a little carbonation, but the drinkability is a bit low for me. Too boozy. Even for when I have homework due.
