12oz bottle poured a deep orange color with small white head. The aroma was really fruity with sweet malt. Taste had a strong bitterness that lingered. Strong flavor hops balance the sweet caramel malt taste and a touch of warmth from the alcohol.

Bottle, BevMo La Mesa. My pack is 8.6%. Thick syrupy pour. No head at all. Color is medium to dark amber. Sweet fruity aroma up front. Along with some bitter piney hop character. Fairly sweet up front with a bit of maltiness. The hop bite is not as pronounced as alot of 2IPAs. Sweet and malt seem to dominate. Alcohol is very well hidden.

On tap. Poured a deep orange color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of citrus and caramel. Tastes of caramel, citrus / oranges, and some melons. Definitely sweeter (brown sugary) than it was bitter. Light alcohol in the finish (but overall well hidden). I would have preferred more of a hoppy / bitterness to balance out the sweetness.

On the pour the aroma is unmistakeable. You know your are about to consume a DIPA. Citrusy hop aroma combined with just enough caramel malts to make things play nice together, but I also found a bit of juniper berries in there. Appearance was a hazy, orangy body with a white fluffed head. The levels of IBU’s seem to be on the lower end of the scale as it’s not absurdly hopped. Instead you get a quaffable, nicely balance beer. Yet another good beer from the guys at Mad River.

Amazing aroma of grapefruit and slight pineyness. Nice orange/amber color. Citrus hop flavor comes in after an initial straightforward sweetness. The body of this beer is relatively light for the style, as I could drink a six pack of it in a sitting if I wanted to. This is a damn fine beer.

Bottle from aspidites; Thanks Mike! Nose is very citrusy hops mixed with some light caramel notes; medium hazy copper color with a small beige head; flavor is very hoppy with medium bitterness and lots of tart lemon and sour orange accents.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Hazy burnt orange, small white head lasts a while. Citrus aroma, orange and grapefruit. Very bitter, hoppy. Classic american hop taste, like grapefruit juice. Smooth, solid, enjoyable but not fantastic.
