Melvin 2x4 Double IPA

-

ABV: 10% | IBUS: N/A | SRM: N/A What the brewer says

“This is the best damn DIPA in the world. So close your eyes, open up, and experience the mad floral, citrusy, and clean taste of hops talent.”

What our panel thought

Aroma: “Orange, pineapple, and light pine notes up front with a slight butter character that comes through. As the beer warms, the fruity notes express more. Malt gives off a boozy character with some evident sweetness.” Flavor: “Juicy orange and malt sweetness up front with some pinelike hops character. The sweetness almost offsets the bitterness from the piney hops. Hops bitterness lingers pleasantly.” Overall: “Bold hops levels, lots of bitterness but with plenty of malt backbone. A bit rich and sweet in the overall balance, but a tasty hops-bomb sipper. All the components express themselves individual­ly and in turn.”
