COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Brewed as a salute to our brothers at Spiteful Brewing, Deal With the Devil is a beer that comes with a price: our souls. After securing a box of foolproof, sought after hops, we came up with a juicy pale ale that’s low in bitterness and huge in tropical flavors. This beer is unfiltered. Sediment may form.

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.

IPA’s aren’t generally my favorite style but DwtD is quite drinkable. I don’t believe it’s 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.

Theydon_Bois (13601) - Tourist Town (West), Berkshire, ENGLAND - JUN 21, 2015
Keg at the 4th Copenhagen Beer Celebration, Session 2, 01/05/2015. Lightly hazed orange topped with a moderate off white swirl. Nose is citric sherbets, straw, tangy tropical fruit, hop jus. Taste comprises melon, soft bread, tangerine, light red grapefruit. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close laced with hop bitterness. Ok DIPA but no game changer.

Bottle @ ZEBF 2015. Good hoppy pale ale, with lots of passion fruit, peach and some citrus. Pacific style this APA.

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.

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 doesn’t distract too much. Went down way to easy given the ABV. I liked it, quite a bit.
