Bell's Hopslam
Aroma:
All grapefruit, peaches and mangoes. Very pungent! You will not find an IPA/DIPA with a more fantastic aroma.
Flavor:
Fruity hops that are in your face. Some slight pine notes. 10% ABV that is nicely hidden, but one can still notice it. The honey they add to this really adds a nice flavor, while also pumping the ABV up to its formidable level! One of the best DIPA’s you can buy!

Odell Doulbe Black IPA
Aroma:
Slight roastedness and hoppiness present. Some small chocolate hints.
Flavor:
Wow, a very harmoneous marriage between roasted grains and hops in an IPA. Crazy amounts of lacing. Hops are of the piney varietal. Medium to highly hopped; very good beer!

21st Amendment IPA
Aroma:
Minute hoppiness, almost undetectable.
Flavor:
Doesn’t taste very clean at all. Has a little soapiness flavor that is definitely off-putting. Hop type aren’t determinable, can’t even tell fruity or piney – it’s almost neither. Very muddled tasting. Not a fan of this beer at all.

Rush River Double Bubble
Aroma:
Citrus and pine hops, not too much, though. Picking up some maltiness, too…
Flavor:
I’m a little perplexed by this flavor, here. There is something different about this double IPA that I haven’t had before. It almost seems spiced or it was fermented with a Belgian yeast. I don’t think I like it…just weird tasting for a Double IPA.
