An orangebrown beer with a weak and beige head. Aroma is tropical, mangos, pineapples, grapefruits and pine, some fructose. Taste starts with strong bitterness, but it’s balanced with nice/low sweetness, pine, some grapefruits, hint of caramell. The aftertaste is quite dry and there are also even some resin. Almost full bodied, slippery and nice to drink. Very nice DIPA that qives what it promises, strong bitterness and balanced sweetness, no fruits in the taste, but straightforward and piney bitterness.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
Poured from a bottle into a dogfish ipa glass. Dark almost hazy Amber pour with a hearty bone white head that laces. aroma isn’t as aggressive as I like in a dipa, but there is a definite hop presence with an earthy grassy finish. Taste is nice and smooth. The hops are the focus for sure, and I can’t stress the mellow earthiness enough. Really nice balance in this beer with the hops and malt. Not exactly sweet or syrupy, but there’s something that ties it all together. Great beer.

Bottle from Crown Wine & Spirits in Port St. Lucie. Pours orange with an off-white head, some drops of lacing. Aroma has bitter citrus and faintly sweet caramel. Taste is of very bitter grapefruit, as if having the rind, which becomes less of the focus down through the glass. Sticky and a solid malt base, especially later in the glass. The sticky, bitter, bittersweet simcoe is the champ here. Finishes to the bitter side of bittersweet, with some length. Tasty and solid.

Lovely hoppy aromas of tropical and citrusy fruit, caramel malts
Great malt base of pale and caramel malts making it a medium to full bodied sweet DIPA that also has a very well balanced bitterness. Of course loaded with hoppyness. Great!
