Appearance: amber-honey body with a one finger bone white
head
Aroma: grapefruit peel with a malty backbone
Flavors: touch of caramel malts, soda cracker and grains and
then wham!!! It is like I am chewing on a white grapefruit rind; the grapefruit
taste and piney bite are powerful and the alcohol warmth just adds to this IPA
bomb.
Mouthfeel: medium-full body; low carbonation; big time
bitterness; alcohol warmth; the grapefruit note lingers on the palate until you
are tired of tasting grapefruit; this is the mouthfeel I expect out of a DIPA
and one that is called Ruin Ten
To the Point: yes, this will ruin your palate; I never
thought Ruination ‘ruined’ my palate but, Ruin Ten – yes. Not many full-bodied cigars will pair well
with this. Look for an earthy cigar. I smoked a Romeo y Juilieta Habana Reserve
and it was a great pairing with this IPA Bomb.
If you smoke a spicy cigar forget it.
The faint of heart, the weak, meek, need not bother with
this one.
