3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Sharp carbonation with a hard hopped kick at first taste. Long finish. Piney nose. BIG beer. Not balanced. Couldn't drink more than two of these in a sitting - palate crusher.

Absolutely fantastic. Monstrous citrus aroma flavor. Countered by the perfect candy sweetness. There’s no way there is 10% abv in this. Totally undetectable. Dangerously awesone.

Growler. Pours a hazy golden straw color wIth a light white head. Nice hoppy aroma. Very smooth, balanced between malty and hop notes. Fruity flavors light orange and apricot pop out to me. Tasty stuff.

Draught @ Brouwer’s Café: Orangish straw, pale haze, moderate frothy white head, nice lacing. Big pithy and piny nose. Similar tongue, a little green. A little dank, but mainly fresh pith and citrus peel. Light sweetness, not overly bitter. Body and mouthfeel are moderate to full. Very clean finish, lingering citrus based items, pith and peel. Overally a very bright citrusy example of an IIPA.
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Fresh growler, poured a vibrant, cloudy, orange shade. Medium sized head and lacing. Carbonation was somewhat soft. Notes are so f’n tangerine and kiwi’d out, tropical juice, light minerals, cheese/garlic, funky, pine, caramel, very dank and tangy. Medium to fuller body. Another knockout from Boneyard.

Shared by Thorpe429. Thanks Mike.
The beer is mildly hazy and dark orange colored with a thick head. The aroma brings some dank hops, pine. Very nice. The flavor is also quite tasty. More of a pine and resinous flavor than a citrusy, tangy DIPA. A touch of earthiness. Alcohol presence is masked very well. Easy to drink. Medium bodied and creamy. I would definitely have this again. Recommended.

Great hops! Intense, fruity. Mellow finish. This was our favorite at the Concordia Alehouse blind Imperial IPA contest, and it won first place!

Draft at The Pine Box, Seattle. Deep hazy green orange. Small bubbly soap head. Ridiculously juicy hop, big smooth body of juicy orange and pine. Smooth, syrupy fruitiness all the way, with some boozy notes. Interesting big beer.

Sample from a growler. Clear amber orange color. Little off-white head. Very nice big hop aroma. Big citrus, grapefruit, some kiwi. Big bitter taste. Bigger body, dry texture, lighter carbonation. Excellent DIPA
