12 oz bottle. Bright a bright gold with a heavy fine particle haze and a white head. Very bright, juicy citrus and tropical aroma. Tropical and citrus hops mix with grassy, herbal hops in the flavor. Some pretty good stuff.

Bottle. Pours a mostly clear yellow orange color with a small white head. A light funky citrus nose. A sort of odd nose. The flavor is toast, citrus, some bready sweet malts. Mild to big bitterness. Lemons. Interesting beer. Somewhat raw. I like it.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 12/28/2017. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy golden amber color with a 2 finger dense and rocky white head with awesome retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings around the glass. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, coconut, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, pepper, pine, honey, lightly toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, coconut, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, pepper, pine, honey, lightly toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Good amount of pine, citrus rind, herbal, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, coconut, lemon/orange peel, citrus rind, pepper, pine, honey, lightly toasted bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, creamy/grainy, and sticky/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 9.1%. Overall this is a fantastic DIPA! All around outstanding complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and easy to drink for the ABV; despite the increasingly bitter/resinous/drying finish. Amazing dank, vibrant, and juicy hop complexity; nice solid pale malt backbone, with no residual sweetness. A highly enjoyable offering.

Draft at the brewpub, Bellaire. Hazy yellow-straw body, medium clumping off-white head. Strong sugared grapefruit rind nose. Catty body with lots of grapefruit and bitter herbal, vegetal notes. Strong but fits somewhere in between a "normal" IPA and most Double IPAs I have sampled.
