3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 b3shine (6925) - Indiana, USA - OCT 1, 2015
Draft to taster. Looks good for the style; a slightly hazy golden orange with eggshell head that steadily dissipates into lacing. Smells solid; malty though. Bitter and piney hops with a big bittersweet backbone. A bit of caramel too. Tastes like it smells with a mildly boozy medium full-bodied mouthfeel. Malty and a little hot, but an enjoyable sipper nonetheless.

Bottle. Small head, deep orange into copper. Nose is malty, hints of citrus, slight pine. Medium to full bodied, slick texture, long bitter finish, quite malty. Nice, more like a barley wine.

Bottle shared in line at New Glarus. Maybe this bottle was not treated well? Old, oxidized nose and taste. Citrus is there. Murky pour.
4.6 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 CornBeefTaco (3) - Michigan, USA - SEP 12, 2015 does not count
IPAs arent generally my favorite style but DwtD is quite drinkable. I dont believe its available anymore though, if I recall correctly oit was just a part of a series 18th street did. If you do come across a bottle, buy it.

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 Barrelbelly (715) - BELGIUM - JUN 21, 2015
Expected a bit more from this one. Tropical fruits are definately present, but a bit watery in the finish.

Pretty simple IPA, not to much to get excited about. Drinks pretty easy. One to enjoy in the sun.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 BeerBunker (954) - Burbank, Illinois, USA - JUN 8, 2015
On tap at the brewery. Pours deep orange with a white head. Aroma is of hops, pine, soap, and tropical fruit. Taste starts off with a bitter hop bite, with lots of tropical fruit and pine. Huge lingering, juicy hop taste. Has a bready malt backbone. As it warms up, more pine comes through. Mouthfeel is very soapy. The alcohol is masked, but definitely present. A little too sugary for my taste, but it doesnt distract too much. Went down way to easy given the ABV. I liked it, quite a bit.
