Melvin 2x4
Dear (insert your name here), This is the best damn DIPA in the world. So if you were even considering sulking today, think again. Our 2x4 Double IPA is the Gold Winner at WBC, GABF, NABA, and the Alpha King Championship; two years in a row. Lets just say, you’d be crazy not to drink this. So close your eyes, open up, and experience the mad floral, citrusy, and clean taste of hop talent. If you don’t love it, no...... you will.

Can. Nice head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are rich bitter hops, tropical fruits, flowers and malt. Nice long bitter finish.
Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Moderate malty and hoppy aroma. Heavy bitter flavor. Long heavy bitter finish. Creamy palate.
12 oz can, pours clear light golden with sizeable white head. Citrus and tropical fruit aroma. Grapefruit with fruity notes in the taste, with a strong lingering bitter finish.
Hazy golden to orange colour, minimal off-white head; aroma of pine resins, tropical fruity, some marmalade and biscuity notes; perfectly balanced bittersweet taste with the same notes as can be felt in the aroma; great IIPA
Poors hazy pale yellow with a big head. the beer is strong, bitter and with nice citrus notes. for me this is a bold IPA or a light Double IPA. I did enjoy the beer a lot.
Smooth DIPA. Pretty pour with good hop aroma. Floral flavor & not a ton of bitterness. Really nice!
Can. Orange blonde. Peach in the aroma. Alcohol, oily grassy notes and hints of ripe peach in the flavor. Dry.
Can. Color: Bit hazy orange golden, white head. Aroma: Floral, grassy and light citrus hopbitterness. Taste: Strong grassy, pine and floral hopbitterness, slightly resinous with a decent, above average sweet, malty background. Light caramel, citrus and bit herbal and boozy. Long lasting pretty bitter finish, bitter palate. Medium to over medium body, average carbonation. Pretty complex for a DIPA. Nice.
From the 12 fl. oz. can with a canning date of 02/21/19. So my review is probably tainted due to the age of this beer. Decent looking orang-amber, heady pour with moderate clarity. Plenty of lacing. The aroma ends up being more herbal than anything due to the age of this beer. But I can pick up a distant fruitiness underneath those stale, cardboard malts. The mouthfeel is medium or better. Sweet taste to start and then the spicy or herbal hop notes kick in. Probably should have been tropical but thus can is 7 months old. Still, it was easy to drink.
What’s stupid hop! great notes of pine and tropical fruits .
Draught at Bootleggers.
Cloudy golden coloured with a medium sized white head.
Fruity aroma of hops and pine needles with notes of citrus.
Fruity flavour of hops, caramel and pine needles with notes of resin.
Hoppy finish.
(exo > puissant, > veloutée (quelle belle texture !), du pin plein la vue dès 1ère gorgée, résine-coule-gorge, ipa-rrache, goûtue)
4 oz. draft. Mild fruit upfront, mango, pineapple, citrus. Weak florals. Then the dank notes come in; weed, pine, herbal. Pretty good balance. Real good!
Pours clear amber, white head and lovely lacing. Wonderful aroma of caramel, toffee and all those hoppy fruits, mainly mandarin, pineapple and mango. Tastes bitter, but with a lot of sweetness coming from the sidelines, notes of caramel, biscuit, toffee, mandarin, pineapple and mango. Viscous mouthfeel, very clean, strong flavours and medium booziness, long finish, with lingering aftertaste. A very solid IIPA, extremely tasty and well balanced. Top notch!
เปรี้ยวหวาน โคตรฮอปส์ ขมปลาย หนักหน่วง
Can 0,35 ltr: Hazy golden coloured brew with an deliciously dry bitter taste hints of pine, grapefruit, orange, mango and some faint caramel. First tick from Wyoming and the best now.
Can from San Diego, drank at home the night after Shi Fu Miz #2 / Jay & Oscar’s celebration. Pours a translucent warm honey-amber with a small fizzy white head. Aroma: tangerine, woody pine hop, crisp lightly spiced malt. Taste: bitter dry hop, San Diego IPA style and big, lovely crisp biscuity malt, lightly spiced / citrus lime tanginess at finish. Body is dry and bitter, rounded, slightly chewy and fluffy. Fantastic palate and taste. Not out-of-the-box different or unexpected but executed incredibly well. Delicious. Liked it more the longer I drank it.
Can from Irvine Irvine Whole Foods at home in HK. Clear golden-copper pour with fine white head. Aroma is powerful (very fresh) dank resin hops, with a wet malty sweetness soaked in booze - pine, pineapple, honey. Taste is deliciously floral while also being a resin hop explosion with lots of alcohol and bready biscuit malt underneath. Lasting pine resin tingle with warm finish. Very very good DIPA, nothing out of the ordinary but very well-executed almost SD-style example of the style. Would definitely get again.
12 ounce can. Honey gold pour. Large foamy while head. Clinging white lace. Subtle citrus fruit notes on a light bready malt base. Sweet fruit malt and pine flavor. Some sharp warming alcohol notes. Complex and spicy. Great balance and flavor. Juicy and dank, beautifully crafted. A must have.
Tap @Stoneworks, Peterborough.
Deep gold/amber, clear, nice lacing.
Nose - sweet, heavy, malts, honey, herbs.
Taste - bittersweet.

Shared can at Brynes place. Pours hazy weak golden , small white head. Aroma is on the sweet side, malty with good hoppy fruity notes. Taste is super smooth creamy malty with a powerful hoppy finish
Tap at Kultainen Apina. Pours clear golden, white head. Malts, sweet fruits, citrus, grapefruit, caramel, pine, booze. Full body, oily texture, average carbonation, bitter finish.
12oz can served in tulip glass.Pour is hazy yellow/gold with nice amount of thick foam head. Aromas of tropical fruits dominate with notes of melon, pineapple, mango...On the palate there is a finite amount of pine with a very nice mouth feel . Wish i purchased more than one can
12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 1/7/2019. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy medium golden/amber color with a 1 finger dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, honey, cracker, white bread dough, light toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Slight booze in the aromas as it warms. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, honey, cracker, white bread dough, light toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, honey, cracker, white bread dough, light toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready, sticky/resinous/rindy, and lightly slick balanced mouthfeel that is great. Lightly increasing warmth of 9.9% after the finish. Overall this is an awesome DIPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to drink for the big ABV, with the moderately bitter/resinous/drying finish, not overly aggressive. Awesome classic Columbus, Centennial, Citra, Simcoe profile. Extremely juicy, vibrant, dank, and earthy balanced hop complexity; with a great balanced bready pale malt backbone. Mild residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. Not overly sweet/heavy for the big ABV. A really enjoyable offering, and well made style example.

Can (thanks FatPhil). Straight from the can. Citrus, fruity, sweet, alcohol, malty, caramel in taste. Kind of classic old school dipa. Solid brew.
Can, thanks fatphil! Street tick, but tasted golden. Aroma and flavor are hoppy, fruity, citrus, sweetness, bitterness. Some booze is also showing. Overall: ok.
Cans from Dorothy lane. Thanks for the recommendation. Even in a can this was outstanding, complex full bodied, full of dank hops and smooth for 9.9%. Not much head or lacing but can't have it all but close
Resinous, piney, pithy, dank and a little booze. Thickish body. Delicious west coast style DIPA. Soo drinkable for 9.9%
