Can to tulip. Thanks Russ.
Appearance: a ruddy bronze color with a two finger white foamy head, delicate dissipation which left mild lacing
Aroma: tobacco leaf, orange marmalade, citrusy character, sweet grass, lemon puree', tangerine then tries to balance with some caramel malt
Flavor: previously noted aromas wrap up bittersweet, mild citrusy aftertaste with caramel malts
Texture: medium bodied, good as a sipper, clean citrusy/malty finish
Overall: good DIPA, I'd come back to if given the chance.

My tasting will be by a 12 oz can from a Total Wine in Austin obtained a couple of months past. I have my New Belgium globe glass in place for the pour, I see a clear, gold-orange body completed by a steadfast head of parchment tan foam. The smell is sweet fruit and pine. And finally I take a drink to find grapefruit, pineapple, pine needles, malt, toasted bread and a bit of mango. A throwback IPA, there is plenty of bitterness, hard to believe it is 100 IBU worth, but whatever and a firm dryness. I like it all although all IPAs are well down the list for my preferred styles.

Can to pint / bought at a liquor store in Wichita. Aroma is massive pine and oily resins. Moderate orange arrived as it warmed. Hazy deep orange with moderately sustained white head that patterns down. Taste is overtly sweet - almost cloyingly so. In the mid-palate there is slight orange, but finishes with a massive bitter spike. Perhaps an old can, but the hops don’t showcase at all here for flavor and aroma.

500mL can, sent from OKBeerFan (thanks a lot, Matt), pours a dark copper with a large beige head. Aroma brings out a great quality of resinous hops, a little wood and some caramel biscuity malt. Flavour is potent and wonderfully balanced, with truckloads of resinous hops, some pine, a little wood, and just enough caramel bready malt. Couldn't really be better balanced. This is a wonderful top-class IIPA.

75 cl bottle @ Tampella
Aroma is rather sweet with exotic fruits and hops. Feels quite like fruit juice. Flavour is fruity and sweet with mango, passionfruit, and some minerals. Lots of lingering hops. A bit too sweet and sticky but good anyway.

750ml bottle, thanks rosenbergh!
Pours dark orange with a small white head. Aroma of fresh exotic fruits, caramely malts, mango, citrus, sweetish notes and pine. Taste is malty, fruity and hoppy with loads of caramel, citrus, exotic fruits, pine and grass. Finish is heavily hopped, bitter, dry, sweetish and malty with loads of caramel, grass and pine. Sweet and malty DIPA with a long lasting bitterness.

Bottle thanks to Matt. Pours cloudy orange with white head. Great lacing. Nose and taste of papaya, mango, citrus, sugared pink grapefruit, caramel malt, pine, dank hops and resin/sap. Balance is incredible. One of the better IIPAs I’ve had in some time.
