What The Floc - Double IPA

The color of this brew is a clear and rich Amber.  The transparent beer has a nice depth, even though it is a clear beer.  The head pours white and nice and foamy.  It's a light head that takes its time to go down.  

The aroma smells like sweet Christmas.  This beer gives off a nice piney smell.  The smell is like being in a Christmas tree farm.  There is a slight sweetness hiding in the background of this beer's aroma.  It's kind of a caramel smell, but not very strong.  Overall this is a pleasant smelling brew.

On the palate the smooth, mild carbonation leads the way to a beer that is more mild in flavor than it is in smell.  The piney flavor is mild on the tongue.  The caramel flavor is balanced nicely with the pine and hops.  There might be too much malt in this beer for true IPA lovers, but I feel like most double IPAs are like that. There is however a nice bitter bite left on the tongue by this beer, so you do still get a nice IPA feeling.

Overall this is a decent beer.  It's not amazing but it is drinkable.  There is not an overwhelming alcohol flavor even though it's 9.5% Abv.  The beer has decent flavor, a nice aroma, and a nice IPA finish.  I give is 3.5 out of 5.
