Beer Advocate score - 4.13/5Untappd score 4.13/5
22A. Double IPA
An intensely hoppy, fairly strong pale ale without the big, rich, complex maltiness and residual sweetness and body of an American barleywine. Strongly hopped, but clean, dry, and lacking harshness. Drinkability is an important characteristic; this should not be a heavy, sipping beer.

It's getting crazy out there so what do you do to pass the time? I am a sports geek and a beer geek...without sports, I turn my attention to good beer. This one comes from one of my favorite experimental breweries. They always have some crazy concoction that you just want to try...even if it sounds like it could be totally disgusting. That's the thing about experimental beers, you never know what you will get. This one is fairly straight forward though but it had a cool name. Long but cool. And I just couldn't turn it down. On to the review!
Appearance: Thick golden ale. Not clear cause it's a hazy IPA. Nice brilliant white head that lasts for a good long time. Awesome lacing. 9
Aroma: Citrus forward with Tangerine and Grapefruit. A well balanced dank hop aroma up front. Smells as if it were double dry hopped. 8
Flavor: Definitely well balanced. Quite a bit of Orange citrus with a nice floral bouquet of hop flavor. 8
Mouthfeel: Right amount of carbonation and medium bodied. Lingers but not thick. Dangerously crushable. 8
Overall: Evil Twin always meets my expectations. This one is no different. It keeps getting better the more you drink it. While I have had better IPA's, this one is comfortably in the top 5-10 range. And it seems my score is right on par with everyone else. 8.25
Matt's mark: 4.125/5
