3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A: Nice orange-amber body, solid lacing and decent head retention...
S: Orangy-citrus, sweet malt and a bit of booze
T: Taste falls off, a slightly syrupy flavor combines with dank resinous hop bitterness and a healthy doze of booze... almost tastes like a sparks mixed with beer
M: Moderate body, decent carbonation... hurt by a syrupy feel that carries over from the flavor
O: An average beer that just doesn’t encourage opening another bottle

Ar: Light malt, hints of orange and pine sap.
Ap: Bright light-orange, medium-large white head - good retention, nice lacing.

P: Medium bodied with a high carbonation.
O: Beer has some interesting elements and bold flavors, but fairly harsh bitterness, and some of the flavors don’t exactly meld.

2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Purchased at Hyde Park Wine & Sprits in Cincinnati, OH; enjoyed on a Friday night trying to relax after a long work week. Appearance a very cloudy, grapefruit like gold with a thin white head that laces to the glass. Aroma is very unusual, more malty than hoppy and pretty sweet, like a mixture of caramel and passion fruit or mango which I didn’t think should go together and I still kind of agree. Taste also unusual, like a candy bar covered in hops, higher than usual carbonation makes it so that I’m belchy with a weird candy / grass mixture. I can’t say that I like this at all., would rather drink this than a mass produced lager, but not a good one from the craft beer realm.
4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle to glass mug. Pours a copper clear color with a white thick head. Good lacing. Great notes of citrus, & other fruits. Not super bitter, but somewhat sweet, but not a malt sweet. Has a great mouthfeel, and is really, really deceptive on the alcohol, it’s masked so well.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
12 ounce bottle into tulip. Pours slightly hazy orange amber color with a fairly dense 1 finger off white head with good retention that reduces to a thin lacing cap. Aromas of huge amounts of grapefruit, orange, caramel, lemon, mango and a bit of pine; small amount of booze as well. Huge sweet aromas here, with very little spiciness, all fruits. Taste of big orange, grapefruit, mango, caramel, and a bit of pine. Decent amount of bitterness on the finish that lingers with citrus, caramel, and pine flavor. A very malt forward DIPA. Low-medium carbonation with a fairly full body. Surprisingly no alcohol noticed except for a warming on the finish, well hidden. Overall, a good DIPA, enjoyable stuff.
