  • Pours slightly hazy with an inch of frothy, off-white foam. Retention is average. Lacing is solid throughout.

    Aroma is hop forward. Floral and citrus are not over abundant but they are at the front. Touch of grain and hints of clean sweetness round out late.

    Taste has a sweet malt element throughout. The middle has grain, suggesting bread notes. The finish carries the sweetness as well as citrus and floral hops. Bitterness is minimal.

    Medium body. Mild carbonation.

    More malt forward than expected. A DIPA should have more hops than this one. That said not a bad beer just not a great beer. Too many other DIPAs out there to have this one again.

Beer Notes
  • The rebirth of an original, a rebellion against what was and is no longer. Brewed with Galaxy, Citra and Columbus Hops partnered with an inconspicuously mild malt profile, Insurrection is a Double IPA brewed to stealthily assault the pallet with dry, citrusy, dank flavors and just a hint of sweetness on the backend.
