3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pillowy whitehead that stands the test of time. Lovely lace and a big floral hop aroma. In a nutshell a classic California hoppy IPA that is very resinous. The palate is dry and bitter with tropical fruit and orange scented hops. The finish is long and hoppy with a dash of malt to keep this beer honest.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours orange-gold with small head and some top lacing. Smell is potent orange citrus - very, very sweet-smelling - and some pine. Taste is orange juice, pine, alcohol, and more orange juice. Teeny bit sour, but not enough to offend. Pretty unusual DIPA - would like a little more to the smell and flavor other than the big orange profile - but not bad. ABV well-hidden. Good mouthfeel for a DIPA. Might convert fans of screwdrivers.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours copper with a thin head and virtually no lacing. Aroma is malty caramel and the taste is the same on the front end. For an 8.2% ABV, this doesn’t taste very alcoholic. At the back end on the tongue, the caramel and maltiness dissipates and a nice grapefruit with small amounts of citrus finishes the beer. Very enjoyable.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Clear bright orange yellow, fine rocky white head lasts, leaving definitive stepped lacing. Strong piney citrus hoppy aroma and taste, with a subdued sweet caramel malt background. Average carbonation, medium bodied, moderately hopped. Alcohol well hidden. Dry hoppy finish. Very good. LBW (Lagerboys Be Wary)
3.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
12 oz. bottle from a shaker. Pours a lively, vibrant yellow orange oclor with a small, cola-like tan head. Aroma has a lot of bright hop citrus character. Sweet and astringent. Taste has a lot of nice citrusy hop notes and a very mild, but well balanced caramel malt. Super dry in the finish. Very good DIPA. Not extreme with the hops, but very well balanced.

3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Aroma rich bready malt caramel..hidden under big citrus...expected bigger hop aroma. Pours golden amber crystal clear with white head that goes away quickly. Big piny hop flavor with malty richness and alcohol finish..sweeter than expected...balanced toward malt, finish has sweet the lingers in palate.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a nice copper with a great two finger head that dissipates and leaves solid lacing. Aroma is citrus and pine, all hops. Taste is also pretty much all hops, a bit of alcohol burn. Nice california DIPA.

Pours copper with low head.
Aromas of caramel malts, brown sugar, toffee, hoppyness of some tropical fruits
Very nice palate that starts out sweet almost vanilla fudgy like and moves over to a medium bitter ending. Some oakyness there as well. Really good!

Lucious, one of the better IPA’s I’ve ever tasted. My wife normally doesn’t care for IPA’s, and she loved this one.

Hops don’t overwhelm the flavor. Alcohol is smooth. Light on the palate. Clean finish. Great with spicy food--just had mine with jerk chicken.
