It poured a clear copper color with a heavy white head. The aroma was of floral and grassy hops, some caramel malt, citrus fruit, pears, and pine. The taste was of balanced hops (medium bitterness) and sweet malt with faint supporting fruit esters and a dry finish. Very tasty.

4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
UPDATED: FEB 10, 2013 Pours light golden for a dipa. Smells of very strong bitter citrus. Flavor is hops up front with perfect sweetness. This is very drinkable for the high abv and the taste is right on. Sucked this down quickly, and might be my favorite of the Southern Tier beers.
