Hazy amber beer. Softish palate, a little dry. Light carbonation. Rich grapefruit marmalade. Aniseed - licorice spice and subtle sweet peach and fresh orange. Finishes dry but then has a bitter spicy aftertaste. Very drinkable DIPA.

Bottle shared by alexsdad06. Poured clear copper color with an average off-white frothy head that was mostly lasting with fair lacing. Moderate to heavy earthy hop aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy bitter flavor with a medium to heavy smooth biitersweet finish of moderate to long duration. Solid drinkable beer.

Bottle 124/156 thanks to americanbrew. Pours with a minimal head and a hazy golden body. Aroma of pine, earthy, tropical fruit and caramel. Taste is sweet, pine, herbal and alcohol. Creamy mouthfeel, lightish carbonation.

At Jackie-O’s, Athens OH on 11 March 2010. Amber colour. Not much head. Powerful resinous hops on the nose. Some flowery notes. More hops on the palate - resinous and orangey. Excellent, firm bitterness. Not too sweet. Very drinkable for the strength.

Thanks boltz! Gold pour. White head. Juicy resinous and spicy hop aroma. Some nice tropical fruit aroma too. Pine and spicy hop flavor. Nice soapy bitterness.

Sample at the Eurostash II tasting on 12/12/09: Thanks to JaBier for sharing bottle #35/156. The beer pours a clear amber-orange color with a medium thin and fluffy off-white head that diminishes slowly. Rings of lacing on the glass. Grapefruit and hops aroma. Medium body with a moderately bitter hops character and flavors of citrus, pine and caramel malt. The finish is piney with a lingering hops aftertaste. Pretty good all around.

Bomber shared by JCB. Thanks! Pours an unclear light orange with a thin white head. Aroma is straight up papaya, fresh tropical hop notes. Taste is super bitter, resiny hops, pine needles. Powerful- nice in your face, fresh DIPA. Seems like a rarity these days!
