The aromas are caramel malt slightly dominating over fresh hops with a little Citrus and honey. Flavours are like nose with an interplay of bitter and sweet going back and forth a little bit of medicinal in the Finish. Good enough but could be a lot better. Boozy at the very end.

Golden color with lasting foam. Pine tree hop aroma. Flavor is resiny with underlying sweetness that finishes crisp, not much bitter hop aftertaste. High alcohol flavor is masked.

Draft at Pizza Peel. Clear deep golden color medium white head. Dank sweaty citrus aroma. Taste is bitter resiny citrus with a harsh mouthfeel. A big beer, and preferable tom most NE IPAs in my book.

Dangerous pint, big, sticky, and juicy like a good TIPA should be, but lacking the caustic alcohol burn to remind you how potent a hop bomb you're consuming. Starts with a heavyweight malt sweetness, tons of caramel and toasty grains providing ample padding for the hop onslaught. Yet the hops aren't quite as formidable as you'd expect; solid notes of grapefruit, lemondrops, mango, pine, and berry abound, yet the finish remains more juicy and sweet than vengefully bitter. Pours a pretty gold with orange edges, giving up a brief white head and modest lacing. Nose is orange, caramel, and grain alcohol. Booze never dominates the feel, though; creamy texture has just the right amount of sparkle, enough to keep you from pounding the pint outright. Tasty beer.
