3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20Bottle. Have wanted to try this for a long time. Love the brewery. Now the beer.
A beautiful rocky head that clings to the glass in chunks. Golden orange and clear body.
Surprisingly some bready, nutty notes immediately apparent with the citrus and apricot aroma. Pleasant.
Taste is very balanced and smooth. Malty sweetness with average bitterness. Hops are grassy and fresh-tasting.
The texture is very soft almost pillowy. I was expecting a little rougher texture so I don’t know what to make of it except enjoyment.
The beer goes down so easy. But the memory of it lingers long afterwards. Body is medium-to-full. Not an imperial, but close. Excellent brew. I was not disappointed.

Hazy copper, creamy head leaves good lacing. Aroma has citrus, pine, fruity with balancing bitterness, bit roasted caramel malting under this. Flavor is crispy and refreahing, Semisweet and bitter, medium body, low carbonation, soft feel, tasty long finish gets more malty and bitter towards end. Nice one, tasty, lively and nuanced but also fresh.

UPDATED: MAY 12, 2013 Draught @ Olutravintola Kukko, Kemi. Deep copper coloured beer, white head. Piney and hoppy aroma. Sweetish malty taste with strong dry bitterness. Tasty dry IPA, not a tropical fruity one.

Draft at Sweetwater in Boynton Beach, FL. Tulip. Deep orange brown pour with medium off-white head. Aroma of citrus, pine, resin, fresh cut grass. Taste is first hoppy bitterness balanced by aggressive malts. Slightly sweet finish with mild dryness. The pine and citrus come through nicely. Really enjoyed this IPA from GD.

Bottle (12 oz). Thanks Tom! Clear orange with a medium white head and good lacing. Aroma is of caramel/malt, slightly piney and perfume notes. Taste is moderately sweet with a good malt backbone, caramel and piney notes and moderate bitterness. Medium body. Slightly dry. Alcohol completely hidden. Not a fruity IPA at all, but one of the best of his king. I usually don’t like IPA where the malt component is predominant, but this one is really well balanced and drinkable!
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours dark orange with a fast fading white head leaving spotty lacing. Aroma is weak for an IPA, floral and pine notes, and sweet malt, underwhelming. Taste is better, with a more bitter pine bite, but its got a lot of malt and takes away from the hops I’m wanting. its not toobad.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft to taster. Looks solid; a transparent orange with sticky off-white lacing. Smells of well-balanced hops with a sweet backbone. Tastes like it smells with a nice, smooth mouthfeel. A solid IPA.
