At New York Craft Beer Freaktoberfest ’10, easy-to-drink gold-hazed double IPA retained smooth medium-bodied moderation only fierce hop-heads could deride. Soft cereal-grained chestnut-almond nuttiness centers floral-hopped grapefruit bittering and spicy apple cobbler sweetness. Pineapple, peach, and cherry illusions fill backend. Serve as crossover to lighter ale guzzlers.
