Bi fresh green hops in mouth and surprisingly less bitter than expected though there is a noticeable furriness across the tongue. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
This poured a clear golden-orange, with some very fluffy foam, almost reminiscent of rising bread dough. Aroma has some floral hops, along with a faint sweetness. Up front, the floral and citrus-like hops are definitely more present, though they are dempered quite well by the sweet bready malts. Carbonation, while significant, is also very soft to the touch. All in all, this is actually an extremely well balanced double ipa. A sessionable double ipa that will not ruin your palate.

OK this is a fat-ass IPA. Dark blonde and clear with a pale tan dense cap. Fresh citrus aroma, candy fruit. Taste sweet candy fruit, apricot and lemon. Dense sweetness, lingering palate is very solid. Finish dry grassy hops.

330 ml bottle from Premier Wine & Spirits (Halifax). Pours a fairly clear rusty orange with a small white head. Strong caramel malt backbone with citrus and herbal hops. Taste is quite malty with decent citric/herbal/piney hopping. Medium body. Somewhat dry, moderately bitter finish. Fairly easy drinking for a DIPA. Nice.
