Pours orange. Mouthfeel was puckering but also soft. The malt profile was fairly light, nothing dark really. Plenty of fresh hop flavor and citrus/pine. A bit sweet.

Poured from the tap at the brewery. Good but too sweet for my taste. Hoppywith a nice balance with the malts. Creamy mouth feel and piney, citrus nose. Solid but not great.

22oz bottle, shared by DanielCoor. Clear red / orange color. Good khaki head. Nice lace. Really nice piney hoppy orange citrus aroma. Bigger body. Smooth texture, lighter carbonation. Nice sweet taste, light bitter in the finish. Enjoyable DIPA.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
22oz bomber via trade. Poured a clear copper orange body with lots of clinging bubbles and a foamy mostly white head. Aroma is boozy, lots grapefruit...rind and pulp, some metallic copper note. fuller bodied with rather strong carbonation and a lingering bitter aftertaste. Flavor of old citrus fruits, rind, slight alcohol, rotting lemons. Okay but the regular Drake’s DIPA killed this one.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Great Inperial IPA. Loads of caramel, tropical fruits, pine and grass. Very well balanced. Not as aggressively hoppy as I expected, but still very nice!

A good standby for IPA people and readily available in Nor Cal (brewed in San Leandro), Drake’s aroma and appearance are one of the better around. A little down on taste however, lacking in the lingering of the hops that I prefer in a beer, but still one of my favorites.
