Mission Shipwrecked Double IPA

Body is a murky copper/ burnt orange color. The head starts of with a finger of nice white froth but recedes quickly to a thin ring. Aromas of citrus and earthy hops with plenty of sweetbread malts. Flavor has lots of sweetness upfront with the piney citrus hops bringing the balance.. Normally its the other way around for a IIPA. Overall its a pretty decent beer, surprised at how low of a rating it has here.

A glossy orange copper beer in color with a small soapy textured, off white head that rises briefly above. A thin ringlet is left. The profile is citric and subtle sweet malt. Grapefruit citric hops as I like it. Effervescent and refreshing.

22oz bottle -

The beer pours out a clear copper body with a fluffy off-white head that stuck around a good while. Aroma is too sweet for an IIPA. Super sweet, sticky caramel-like nose with dried fruits found after awhile. Flavor is just too, too sweet. Caramel, canned fruit syrup, lite tropical fruits but it finishes nicely. Either under attenuated or the brewer might want to ease up on the malts a bit.

12 oz bottle. Pours hazy copper orange with a medium creamy off-white head that goes to a thin film and leaves some lacing.

The aroma is subdued - some resiny hops and alcohol.

The flavor is a little sweet malt with a ton of sharp bitter alcohol. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with smooth carbonation.

Overall, I remember this being much better on tap. All I get is bland bitter alcohol.

A pretty basic and low budget dipa. Looks like a homebrew with decent head when poured very quickly. Aroma is very mild and kind of boring, flavor is a resinous bitter but not very complex.

Sampled on 1/29/2011. This Imperial IPA pours a medium copper orange color from a 22oz bottle. Medium sized white foamy head, with decent lacing and nice retention. The aroma is grapefruity, citrusy, fruity and sweet. A medium bodied Imperial IPA. The malts are fruity, sweet and caramel. The hops are citrusy and grapefruity. Nice balance between the malts and hops. Decent carbonation. A medium bitterness IPA. It is almost a west coast style IPA, but the hops are not that much of an in your face assault. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is bitter.

this san diego dbl ipa is pretty malt sticky, but not overly so. bitter and citric hops come to play as well. big bodied and fairly dark and resinous. a good but not great 2xipa. 8/12 - significantly better fresher/on tap. big and juicy definitely getting a bump up.
