The Essence (2.1) | Nectar of the Essence | Lagunitas Homebrew Competition

 
This DIPA is essentially a re-brew of a beer that I made almost two years ago that my friends absolutely freaked out about.   In my mind it is a combination between Bell's Hopslam and Pliney the Elder.   I lowered the IBU's on this because I wanted this to taste less bitter and more like juicy hop candy and the result is amazing.  It's more on the same page as Lagunitas Sucks actually.   It's a very tasty beer, and I also did a partigyle which is something I've been doing lately with all of my big beer.  For the 3 gallons of Pale ale I got out of the second runnings I used the hops from the DIPA to hop stand this pale ale while it was chilling.   The DIPA got 3rd place on our Lagunitas Mpls/St.Paul Homebrew comp, that we did within my homebrew club and got dinged for it's clarity (it was very hazy) and then some non experienced tasters give it  very low flavor rating which was just crazy.  Either way, the winner was a Black IPA that apparently was the clear winner.
