Sample on tap. Clear amber / orange color. Good white head. Great lace. Medium / bigger body, lighter carbonation. Dry finish. Good hoppy aftertaste. Bigger bitterness, some sweet. Citrus, pine, big grassy. Solid, satisfying DIPA, need to revisit in bigger quantities
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pour from a growler shared by b3shine- thanks again, Beau! Pours a clear orange-hued gold with a small eggshell white head. Aroma of floral hops, dry and sweet malts, crackers, and a bit of citrus. Flavor of citrusy and floral hops, sweet and caramel malts, and not a whole lot else. Light-bodied, with moderate carbonation and a floral, sweet mouthfeel. Drinks more like a regular IPA than a DIPA, but works in such a simple, straightforward way. Sneaky.

Draft. Poured clear dark amber color with an average frothy white head that was mostly lasting with excellent lacing. Medium to heavy complex hop aroma. Medium to full body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy smooth bitter flavor with a medium to heavy bitter finish of moderate to long duration.This is a standout beer.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft to taster at Fifty West. Looks solid; a transparent gold with off-white lacing. Smells and tastes nicely hopped with a nicely balanced backbone. Good on the palate. This is good stuff.
