22 oz bomber. Pale golden colour, creamy, sticky white head that lasts forever. Aroma is great, fresh pine hop aroma, some grapefruit and mango. Lean malts with just a touch of light bready malt. Very fresh hop aroma with massive pine, grapefruit and mango being the most prominent. Lean malts behind the hops, but this is all about the hops. Sweet grassy herbaceousness aroma. The flavour is very hoppy as well, showing sweet tropical character including lime and mango along with pine and more pine. Malts are light and lean, pale malt and a faint touch of honeyish sweetness, but this is almost all pale malt. Light body considering the ABV which allows all the hops to play out on the palate. Hoppy, sticky resiny bitterness on the finish. Very different from their also excellent Hopsickle having a leaner body, simpler malts and a more straightforward resiny hop flavour/aroma. To me, both are terrific.

Nice crisp ipa color..not necessarily what I would expect to see from a double. More on the bitter side of the hop as opposed to the floral...but still smooth. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle. Pours slightly hazy golden amber with a medium off-white head that dissipates fairly slowly. Aroma of pine with some citrus and alcohol notes. Taste is high on hops and alcohol, which was not well disguised in my sample. A good, not great, DIPA in my opinion.

On tap 4 oz. sample at Moylan's Brewery and Restaurant. Clear amber with small head and fair lacing. Aroma of citrus and pine with some mild biscuity tinges. Taste is fairly bitter citric and pine hops balanced by sweet fruity and toffee flavors. The citrus is a mix of orange and grapefruit. Full body with above average carbonation. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle. Amber, hazy, small to average and fully diminishing head. Moderate, malty and sweetish aroma, some caramel and light tropical fruitiness, grapefruit - piney hoppyness. Body is medium, malty and sweetish flavor, some caramel and light fruitiness, piney hoppyness. Finish is average, malty and sweetish, some caramel, sharp piney hoppyness. In the finish hoppyness gets bit sharp/soapy.

Bottle. Hazy amber with a big off-white head. Decent lacing. Aroma of citrus, melon, grass, and nuances of pale malt. The taste is basically high bitterness with some light sweet fruity flavor. Medium bodied and dry. Not a bad beer, but it’s a bit one dimensional.

Pretty average. Malty ipa. No aroma. Dehydrating was expecting more 22 from bev warehouse ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
