Bottle poured orange / golden in color with a very thin white head. Very strong hoppy brewed masterfully with honey. Glass just kept building in flavor. And a nice piney finish. Great beer!!

golden in color with a short lived head. Naturally the hops are pronounced, but the blend with the malts and balance make this such a great beer, The sharpness of the hops is made oh so smooth. Not hard to see why this gets such high ratings.

On tap at Capone’s in Norristown, PA. Little head and minor lacing on the glass. Smell is of hops, hops and more hops. Taste is the same. I consider myself a minor hophead but this was a little too intense for me. It was overwhelmingly hoppy without even a pretense at trying to be balanced. That wouldn’t have been so bad had the hops not been so sour. They weren’t even citrusy or piny, just sour. The one thing I did enjoy about this beer was the lack of alcohol flavor. No way would have I expected it to be 10%, but it definitely hit me later on. Try it if you’re a hard core hophead but otherwise, there are much better DIPAs.

Fantastic brew, one of those you would hardly consider beer if you didn’t know it was. I mean, it’s freakin juice, hop juice that’s oh so pleasant. Very exotic, passionfruit flavour with allot of fine, high-fi crispiness in both aroma and flavour. The finish is piney and great tasting, never harsh and there’s not a sign of the ABV.

Twelve ounce bottle from Total Wine here in Jacksonville, Florida. $3.99 for a single sounded better than $16.99 a six pack. Pours a light copper color with a very minimal head. Aroma is all hops and citrus notes, no trace of the honey. Taste is strong alcohol, hops and some citrus. Very rich and great to drink. A wonderful double IPA.

Pour from a bottle. Orange golden color with a white head. Aroma of orange, tangerine, lemon, and pine. Medium body and smooth on your palate. Great balance of biter hops and under stated sweetness. Just a hint of the rich syrup feel of many double IPA’s.Long bitter finish. Fantastic yummy brew.
