3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
In a word, Bold.
Upon the first sip, you are immediately impressed by the attack of malt and hop. This beer pours amber copper with little head. That should already give you a hint of what’s coming. The finish is not as impressive but overall, this is a great beer.

Bottle. Orange colored, clear, inviting, nice lacing white head. The smell is citrus, grapefruits, floral, sweet, hops, and caramel. The taste is hops, grapefruits, citrus, slight bitterness bite but not too much. Good.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Poured form a 12 oz. bottle into a tulip glass. Pours a hazy copper color with a light tan head that leaves decent lacing. Aroma is of light malt, caramel, grape, and citrus/pine. Taste is sweet, malty, with a hint of citrus, and an undertone of bitterness. The bitterness becomes apparent with alcohol on the backend. Decent mouthfeel with a light carbonation. Overall a good beer but not very reminiscent of the D-IPA style.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
12 oz bottle pours a orange/amber color with a nice white head. Aromas of grapefruit rind, citrus, pine and sweet malt. Medium bodied, nicely balanced, alcohol well hidden with a nice bitter finish
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
From bottle to tulip. Pours a hazy amber with a two finger beige head. Smells of bread, caramel, and hops but also slightly sour. Tastes much of the same with the hops more predominant but the sour sweet malts coming through. MF is lighter with soft carbonation. Overall this is a decent DIPA that is definitely worth a try.

Dark amber with fluffy white head. Pithy pink grapefruit nose. Sweet sticky malt with dry bitter finish and light carbonation.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Firkin at Blind Tiger. Hazy orange with a small white head. Sugary, malty, light grapefruit and pine nose. Flavor is equally not hoppy. Some bitterness and more sweetness but not much actual flavor. Typical of this brewery.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Very pale in colour, light fizz. A little lacking on the hop front, but nonetheless a pretty tasty IPA. Could do with a slightly bolder flavour perhaps.

Appearance: Orange golden brown, clear, some white head.
