Bottle. This is a hazy amber colour in a tulip glass with a generous head. There is a decent amount of lacing on the glass and good head retention. The strong hop aroma has plenty of floral character, dense and complex: there’s some pine, fruit, breadiness. The mouthfeel is nice and full, oily, and very smooth, approachable. I taste an initial sweetness, plenty of citrus in the hops: orange, lemon. A big, bitter kick. Once again, quite complex: pine, bread, plenty of raisin. Wonderful.

Cracked Kettle. Fantastic IPA. Amber body with slight, fast-receding head. Hoppy and citrus nose. Taste of hops and pine, lemon. Citrus chews through. A distinctive and solid IPA. First class.

A- Rich, caramel golden hue, thin layer of white head that dissipates, minimal lacing S- Pine and citrus hops, grass and floral tones, bread malts, alcohol, somewhat subdued for this style T- Initial taste is unsurprisingly pine and floral hops, pale bread malts enter soon after, finishes oily and very bitter, a truly delicious beer M- Medium/full-bodied, oily and chewy texture, moderate carbonation D- Balanced and complex profile, the alcohol is well-masked, this is my favorite non-West coast DIPA and I can drink this all night long

Bottle. Pours amber with a nice white head, long lasting lacing. Aroma is hops, pine, and citrus. Flavor is hops, pine, lemon, malt, and simple syrup. Medium mouthfeel, just right on the carbonation. Top notch.

Bottle. Poured a medium amber orange color with a small tan head. Hoppy aroma with a hint of wood. Has a sweet hoppy taste with a pine bite. Finishes bittersweet. An excellent IPA.

Medium amber with a bubbly tan head and medium lacing. Excellent aroma of coffee and caramel malt, pine hops, and hints of alcohol. Taste of pine hops balanced with sweet malt and a medium bite to the finish. A nice, complex and balanced IPA. Wish the alcohol content wasn’t so high but this is a great beer overall.

Nice hoppy aroma. Pours a nice amber hue with a white head. Nice balance of flavor with malts, hops, and alcohol. Nice lingering aftertaste. Beer leaves a nice lace on the glass.

Pours a deep amber orange, with good sized white head. Great piney hoppy aroma without being too strong. The flavors are citrus with of course the hoppy pine notes, balanced by some nice sweet malt flavors. Great bitter to sweet finish, lasting on a nice balanced note. Very smooth and easily drinkable for a 9% ABV.
