A pretty solid DIPA. Had from a tulip glass on draft at Maria’s in Chicago. Aroma is spruce, lemon, fruity pebbles cereal. Taste is bitter but balanced, with a wash of citrus on the back of the throat. Balanced and drinkable, not a hop beating neither.

Pale golden color. Aroma is fantastic, with distinct earthy, citrus, flowery aroma hops dominating. Slight malty sweetness. Nice balance of bitterness and sweetness. Good head and nice lacing in the glass. Bold yet traditional over-the-top American IPA.

(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 6 May 2013) Golden amber colour with rocky, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of orange, caramel, wine-gum, mandarin, citrus peel and hints of resin. Malty, fruity taste with caramel, treacle-toffee, orange, mandarin and a generous citric bitterness in a finish with a certain alcohol bite. Almost full body, fairly sweet. Tasty and quite well balanced for its strength. Very nice.

Draft at Golden Rail Ale House. Pours orange with a thin white head. A bit of leafiness on the nose. Has a toasted quality on the tongue. Finishes clean with a bit of hop bite. Nicely balanced. Hides its alcohol well. Nice overall, solid for style.

On tap at the Gate. Golden orange with white ring head. (They overfill their glasses there.) Beautiful floral citrus tangerine aroma that I could smell from two feet away. Nice mild tangerine fruity sweetness. Slightly bready with a nice clean medium bitter citrus fresh hop finish. Very well balanced and easy drinking for abv. Excellent.

Dégustée en fût chez "The Reservoir Restaurant & Taproom" à Waterbury, VT. De couleur orangée et voilée. Nez de houblon fruité (agrumes, surtout de tangerine, faibles notes de fruits tropicaux), moyennement résineux, légèrement citrique et herbeux, léger de malt sucré avec des notes de pain et quelques traces de biscuits. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une texture aux notes résineuses et huileuses. Goût moyen-amer de houblon fruité (agrumes sucrées, surtout de tangerine, petites notes de fruits tropicaux), légèrement citrique et aux notes herbeuses (une amertume présente toute la gorgée) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de malt moyennement sucré, un léger goût de caramel doux avec des traces de pain et de biscuits puis en finale l’amertume de houblon se fait légèrement asséchante, plus herbeuse et résineuse. Post-goût long et légèrement sec, moyen-amer de houblon fruité (zeste d’agrumes), moyennement résineux et herbeux avec des notes citriques. (1er mai 2013)

On draft at the Blind Tiger Ale House, NYC. Smooth palate with grapefruit and some pine. Excellent IPA. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

UPDATED: APR 29, 2013 På ølsmaking med Garrett Oliver. Garretts personlige flaske. Distribueres kun på fat. Dobbel IPA. Rødlig ravfarve med hvitt skum. Skikkelig blast! Fruktig aroma med blomster, nektarin og humle. Noe dill og barnål. Samme i smaken med god humlebitterhet. God ettersmak. (Den Gode Nabo, 28.04.13)

Pours clear amber with low white head Fully freshly hopped aromas citrusy fruits. Taste is loaded with fresh hoppyness. I wonder how this will taste after 2 months in a bottle? However, very very good from Brooklyn! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Very fresh from tap @Akkurat, Stockholm. Golden color with a medium tan head. Nose is pine, wet summer grass, peaches. Mouth is hop dominant, very fresh with grass, pine, resin and hints of bitter almonds. Very good! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
