Pours a medium to dark orange with thick sticky lacing. The nose is strong with pine, citrus and cannibis. First taste is strong with malt but hps penetrate soon. Hop flavors lingers nicely. Booziness is present but not over powering. Nice stuff much better than the regular 90 min.

Bottle. Moderate aromas all around, with roasted and caramel for the malt, orange/grapefruit and fresh cut pine for the hops, broth for the yeast, and background notes of date, brown sugar, pepper and cherry. Head is small, both frothy and wispy, white with fair lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is clear orange. Flavor starts moderately sweet and lightly acidic, then finishes moderately sweet and lightly acidic and bitter. Palate is medium, oily and has a lively carbonation. A super tasty beer with all the attributes I like in a DIPA.

From a bottle poured a hazy copper color with a good amount of head. Nice hoppy flavor with a lingering odd finish.

Cloudy dark orange pour with a foamy head. Aroma has citrus hops, pine, and some earthy spice. Big body and flavor is bold. Heavy hops, oily, pine and grass with citrus, grapefruit.

Bottle. Thanks Markwise! POurs a hazy orange/amber. Nose is dank, sticky resiny hops. Loads of pine, bouqets of stinky sweet flowey hops, loads of sweet caramel, fruit, citrus pungent ripe fruits. Flavor is loads of toffee, bubblegum, citrus fruit, dank hops, pine resin, sticky fresh hops. Tisi is the best DFH beer I have ever tried. Lovely!

Champagne bottle shared in West Chester tasting, using this for 500, really enjoyed it. Poured a chunky amber with an off white foam head, some sticky lacing. Aroma filled the nose with a rich brewed consist. Sipped and savored, this had a liquor like mouth feel with a hop and malt texture. Subtly sweet with a slight dry bitter balance. Love to get another and cellar. Got the bottle in the Devonshire Pub display, good stuff!

Big thanks to GMCC2181 for sending this one my way. A really, really nice one. Pours a big cloudy amber, with stuff swirling around inside. Aroma is amazing, big and metallic, with lots of acidic fruit. Flavor is great as well, big and juicy with candied fruit notes, and a copper finish. Grassy hints and some tropical fruits as well. Just a great mix of aromas and flavors: the citris fruit mixes with candy and lime, and lemons and grass and what happens is a great, great beer. Thanks again, man!

750 ml bottle - thanks to adrian910ss for the trade!! orange with faint haze and huge white head; fruit hops, stale grass and bubblegum; has some body to it and finishes dry, but not very impressive imperial effort; a little sweetness and hop flavor is flat; some bitterness come out in the finish
