Bottle. Nice hoppy aroma with a solid background malt. May not have been 100% fresh as the malt had kind of started taking this one over. The hops were still present though with notes of citrus and bubblegum. Thick mouth with a touch of stickiness. Good.

Pours light amber in color. Has a decent head along with really nice lacing. A slight citrus note with a perfect amount of bitterness.

Dark orange-amber body with almost no head. Strong floral aroma with a resiny character. Flavors are mostly hop oriented with some grass and sticky citrus. Mouth feel is thick almost syrupy feeling as a result of the complex bombardment of flavors. Finishes out with a nice bitter hop character. Definitely a great beer.

12 oz bottle from a mug. A spectacular IPA, especially coming from someone who is not a huge IPA fan. The aroma is of floral hops. Very fresh scent. Pours dark amber with a nice creamy white head that leaves nice lacing. Taste is a refreshingly balanced bouquet of hops. Nice bitterness, but not at all overpowering. Bravo.

Pours dark amber with a lasting creamy head. Aroma is a huge mix of hops and malt, with loads of resin, caramel, nutty, bready and toasty malt. I don’t think this is all that fresh... But I love malty IPA’s anyway. Flavour profile is huge! Caramel and toasty malt are definately at the forefront, with hop resin and grapefruit also present in large amounts. Clean alcohol makes an appearance, followed by a strong bitterness that doesnt quite manage to balance the malt. Very smooth carbonation, with quite a rich body. Perhaps too rich. Apart from the sweet malt overpowering everything else, this was pretty tasty. Old bottle perhaps.

not as hoppy but more malty than the average Ipa. Smell is great. Good color with a foamy head. Very heavy mouth feel. A great beer but not the average IPA

Poured from 12 oz. bottle to snifter. Aroma is floral with hints of honey and hops. Appearance is ruby red orange with thin white head and nice lacing. Taste is great, notes of flowers honey and grapefruit. palate has slick oily which comes off rich. I love it deffinitly one of my top five DIPA’s.
