3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
22oz bottle. Pours a cloudy copper-orange with small white head that quickly dissipates. Just the kind of IIPA I like: big citrus aroma, big resinous flavor. Aroma also has some floral hops and some vanilla. Flavor is less defined than the aroma with some caramel maltiness muddling the hoppiness a bit. Sightly dry, bitter finish but not overwhelmingly so. This is certainly not a huge hop bomb, to its detriment, but it is still definitely an enjoyable drink.

Pours amber with two fingers head. Smell is really hoppy. Taste is juicy and bitter. Not really my thing, but I can see the appeal.

Bottled (thanks KK!). Ambery golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is fruity and floral hops along with some mild earthy and herbal notes as well. Also some bready and mildly sweet maltyness gives a nice balance to it. Flavour is fruity, floral and quuite herbal with some biscuits, bready and caramelly notes. Big sweet malty and fruity finish. Hides the alcohol well and is actually very pleasantly balanced for being a double IPA!

On draft at Kennedy’s Irish Pub and curry house in SF. This beer paired really nice with the vegetable curry wrap I had here. It pours dark orange with a small creamy white head. The aroma is sweet and fruity with berries and tropical fruit. The flavor is the same with some grass and light pine in the finish. Not amazing, but enjoyable. The alcohol was hidden very well.
3.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
A great amber color with a very faint off-white head. There’s a faint floral aroma with some citrus and a nice hoppy flavor with some resin and a sweet and velvety aftertaste. A very drinkable DIPA.

Pours a hazy orange colour with a finger or so of head. More floral than citrus on this one. Tastes that way too. It’s alright, but I think there are better options out there.
