Bottle thanks to MikeJ. Pours a clear golden color with a medium white head. A nice robust fruity nose with lemons and resin. A nice flavor with citrus and bitter lemon bite, a bit of oranges and light resin. Very smooth. A somewhat unique herbal flavor, very good.

Poured from a 500ml bottle thanks to Mike. The aroma is musty, fruity, tropical fruits. Fruity hop flavors, dry, soft malt character. Not bad.

Gold, light haze, white head. Aroma of grainy malt with lots of orange-tangerine-citrus hops. Flavor: loads of resiny hop flavor with tangerine, an almost lemony citrus. fruity notes, a little grassy hop character as well, finishes fairly bitter and resinous.

On tap at Bottleworks, pours a hazy golden with a medium beige head. Aroma of cat piss, moldy socks and skunky, herbal hops – WTF? Flavour is thankfully quite a bit better, with citrus and piney hops, dank earthy notes, and dry, slightly sweet biscuity malts. Actually a gorgeous beer, despite the off-putting aroma. Highly enjoyable stuff.

On tap @ Chuck’s 85th. Pours cloudy orange with thin white head. Aroma is
syrupy sweet malt and citrus notes. Taste is rough pale malt and big grassy citrus hop finish. Slightly bitter up front but finishes sweet. High abv is somewhat surprising as this drinks easily. Lots of the standard DIPA taste notes but more medium bodied. Wish this were easier to find, as is it’s rare in the Seattle market.

On tap at Uber. Whew -- this one just reeks! My brother said it smelled like a sweater, and I added that it smelled like a sweater someone had worn for a few very warm days straight. Very, very dank hops over some citrusy pine and caramel. I had bitter beer face each time I took a sip of this, and I really like bitter beers...

Bottle @ The BeerMongers... Poured golden yellow with a moderate eggy, white head. Nose had tons of hops that lent towards skunk and danky earth tones. Tasted balanced with some bitterness. Loads of citrus and dense resinous hops that pushed the palate. Still balanced with some honey sweetness and grainy, cereal-like malts.

Bottle. Lots of pine balanced with citrus. Tropical sweetness in the background. Solid bitter IPA finish.
