Bomber from trade with 46er3498. Pours a cloudy pale orange color with a nice 1 finger foamy head that fades normally, leaves some nice webbing. Very nice tropical fruit aroma with some light mustiness, grapefruit, lemon, and pine. Taste is moderately sweet and moderately bitter throughout. Tropical fruit and grapefruit dominate with some pine and spicy hops showing up in the finish. Medium body and oily mouthfeel. Great stuff here. Seems to actually get even better when it warms a bit. Lives up to the hype.

Found this review from a long time ago in my notebook. 22oz bottle courtesy of LoPo87. A: Cloudy straw yellow and lacks lacing. N: Sweet and hoppy. Grapefruit, pine, biscuit, and mango. T: Sweet malt, pine, some drying floral hops. Little bit of spice and pepper. M: Very drying and it’s very clean. There’s definitely some alcohol here. O: A worthy DIPA, but it’s not a beer I’d gush about. Certainly a recommend if you like this style scraping and pine-filled. Definitely better than Heady Topper which we had at the same time.

22oz bomber. Pours a cloudy golden orange color with a thick white head that quickly dissipates. Aroma of pineapple, grapefruit, mango, lemon, orange, and A little funky sweat sock smell. Taste is bready/buttery malts, citrus, tropical fruits, and some sharp pine bitterness. My first beer from Lawson's and a great beer it is!

2013-04-27. Hazy bright orange body nice off white head. 3+ Pleasant Aroma of hops, lemon and grapefruit seeds. 7++ Flavour is similarly quite hoppy, nice lemony grapefruity hop profile, modest bitterness throughout. Very smooth average plus palate suits it, soft carbonation is quite nice. Solid stuff, quite drinkable. On tap at Reservoir, Waterbury.

Nicely hopped, herbal and fruity DIPA. Well balanced.

65 cl bottle @ olio, BBE
Aroma has citrus, apricot, some biscuits, orange, butter, herbs, hints of resin and caramel. Flavour is rather high on citrus. Also some butter, herbs, some nettles and hints of caramel. Like a mixture of bohemian pils and IPA. Too overwhelming citrus here.

650 ml bottle.
Pours a cloudy golden copper colour with a white head. Aroma of strong floral hops, grass, some caramel and strong herbal notes. Flavour of strong caramel malts, strong floral hops, juicy fruitiness, grass, really strong herbal notes and some licorice. Really strong and fruity finish with floral bitterness and strong herbs. A great balance with strong fresh fruity bitterness. Excellent stuff.
