Mega Juicy
Two Roads Brewing Co.
Double IPA
"This is a very enjoyable and well-brewed imperial IPA. The overall hop character is well-developed and complex and plays well with the background malt. Watch out for this one, as the alcohol character is quite smooth throughout and does not give you a lot of indication that it is a 10.2% ABV beer."

NOLA Brewing Co.
Double IPA
"The medium body allows for excellent drinkability and hop astringency is absent despite the heavy hop load. The beer finishes moderately bitter (perhaps a little low for a typical Double IPA) with a long-lingering grapefruit and mango hop flavor. This is a well executed Double IPA with a pleasant, intense, and complex hop character. At 7.6% ABV, this Double IPA is on the low end of the category for gravity and bitterness but it will hold up well against its peers. Hop heads enjoy!"

Threes Brewing
Double IPA
"The beer pours a hazy gold with a creamy, slightly off-white, lingering head. Oranges and tropical fruits, reminiscent of mango and pineapple, are joined by some underlying pine and dankness. Very low levels of toffee sweetness can also be found hiding underneath the hops. The dank and citrusy hops are fighting for dominance in the first sip. As the battle settles down, the tropical fruits rise up mid-palate and are soon flanked by pine resin. The beer is medium-dry but malt sweetness manages to finish things off nicely."

Alter Ego
Tree House Brewing Co.
Hazy IPA
"The aroma is definitely heavy on the Mosaic hops with lots of complex fruitiness – melon, berries, candied orange, apricot and grapefruit all make an appearance. The flavor is similarly loaded with tons of the same hop character plus some additional mango and a touch of pine. The bitterness is moderate and leaves a nice balance, which, along with a light doughy/wheat malt backbone, creates a great vehicle for the hops with a very soft, creamy mouthfeel. A highly recommended IPA."
