3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20Bottle. Pours a hazy gold with a two finger white head with solid retention and some lacing. The aroma on this is overly sweet. Almost an orange peel scent followed by some piney notes. The taste is pretty sweet for a DIPA with the bitterness mostly in the finish. A different take on the style for sure. Easily drinkable but maybe not bitter enough for hopheads.

Maybe I'm being too traditional, but as much as I like this, I'll always prefer hop devil when at Victory. Still very good

Pours a clear orange-yellow. Smells lightly of grapefruit, orange blossom. Grapefruit, orange and sweet malt quickly fades to a sharp pine with lots of lingering resin on the tongue. Medium-heavy body.

12oz bottle
A - Hazy gold straw with 1 finger of white head that sinks pretty quick forming a thin collar. Nice sudsy lacing left behind.
S - Pungent juicy hops, orange zest, grapefruit, intense citrus aroma, rich barley.
T - Starts juicy with orange and grapefruit oils floating over the tongue, moderate bitterness, big notes of sweet barley but the sweetness is muted to to the concentration of hops, pine start showing up, there’s a peppery bite right down the middle, some doughy yeast. Hop resin just coats the palate.
M - Moderate carbonation, medium body, bitter.
Well this is a hopheads dream. Very juicy and bitter while the malt still somehow holds up a bit against the giant hop character.

4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Une robe orange et une petite tête efficace. Un nez houblonné à souhait. Je sens des herbes, du gazon frais, du pamplemousse et de la résine. À travers cette grande fraîcheur, de faibles traces maltées. J’aime. Un goût qui suinte les cultivars et la verdure. Des champs de fleurs, de la résine et des oranges de la Floride qui s’accaparent de ma bouche. Une base maltée presque fantomatique. J’adore. Sur le palais, un corps de moyenne densité. Des bulles rapides et une texture vivante. Une finale qui fait vibrer ma langue et la totalité de ses à-côtés. Très mordante et excessivement éclatante. Facile à aimer.

Bottle at Crown and Anchor, Brixton. Hazy orange, small bubbles. White head with great lacing. Slightly funky, earthiness on nose but fruit still there. Earthy, grapefruit, not much malt and ending in boozy bitterness. Not too shabby.
