Amount of brew in bottle: 22 fluid ounces
ABV:
10%
Type of brew: IPA
Price: ~$7

This was one of the two wood-aged double IPAs I recently purchased. I have to say I like this beer more than the other one. This beer has just a hint of sweetness and is a bit smoother than a typical double IPA. But you can still taste the hops which is what I tend to like about IPAs :) . The beer pours a rich amber color with pretty much no head and small amount of carbonation. The bottle is pretty cool too I like how the label is designed and there was a “cool” foil top on it that just screams “premium” :P . There is not tons to say about this beer it is damn good, it is semi-sweet but not over the top, a bit hoppy but not crazy, not too bitter and easy to drink. I am not sure if I could drink a whole 22 ounce bottle by myself though (I usually split these bottles).

The good: a damn fine beer, easy to drink and not an over the top (i.e. only extreme hop-heads will like it) IPA.
The bad: It took them 15 years to come out with this beer :) .

Overall taste: ★★★★☆ 

Bitterness: ★★½☆☆ 

Smoothness: ★½☆☆☆ 

Overall rating: ★★★½☆ 

P.S. There is no picture because my camera died, le sigh
