Bomber. Nose is full of hoppiness. Pine resin most prominent with some good pineapple, sweet florals, and some melon. Pours a nice amber gold with a good inch of creamy off white head. Great hop flavors as well. Flavors follow the nose well, with some white peach and a hint of caramel too Mouth is full and has a good bitterness to it while still being very smooth. Not too much carbonation, almost flat. Pretty outstanding, up there with the greats!

Smells strongly of citrus hops. Pours a dark amber/copper color. Taste is wonderful creamy hops. Slightly sour, balanced well with nice malt finish

Bottle from Josh who flew it in from Charlottesville. Lots of gratitude. Beautiful copper color with a multifinger beige head. Aromas of hop waft from a foot away. It’s resin. Oh yes. Medium plus body with creamy/frothy carbonation. Flavor is fresh, light pine. I’m sure there’s grapefruit rind as well. But the pine is strong enough to remind me of the old Wizard Wick air fresheners. Must be some malt in there, but who cares. OMG this is hoppy. But it’s not excruciatingly bitter in the finish. Or maybe it is. Damn this is immensely great stuff.

A delicious DIPA packed full of hops in the nose and taste. Seriously, how is this thing not rated higher?

12 oz bottle purchased at Julio’s in Worcester Ma. Pours a amber color with a 1/2" white head. Minimal lace on glass. Aroma is all citrus hops. Nostril clearing strong citrus hops. Palete is medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavor is hop forward with a nice sweet malt background. Starts bitter, ends bitter. Very nice.

Bottle. Pours a medium amber with a thin fizzy head. Good lacing on the glass. The aroma is of piney hops with a hint of sweetness. The flavor is all hops, with a hint of malts. A very bitter finish that lingers on. Medium mouthfeel makes this very easy to drink.

22oz bottle. Pours translucent ruby orange with a large fluffy white head that leaves some great lacing on the glass. Citrus hops aroma and flavor with a fantastic balance of sweet malts, caramel, and floral hops. Subtle bitterness with a dry resinous finish and medium body make this extremely easy to drink. A delicious beer.
