Can 1 pint. Pours a clear amber with a white head. Citrusy, piney nose - some booze coming through. Rich and sweet, malty body. Some toffee, but thick and almost syrupy. The bitterness is there but it's far from overwhelming. Very old school and it's just fine. 300818

16 ounce can from Urban Barley in NYC. Medium gold color color. Rocky beige head. Big piney hop nose. Notes of caramel. Sweet toasted malt flavor. Citrus and pine hops dominate. Smooth and flavorful with candylike malt notes in finish. Well balanced and drinkable. The 8% ABV is barely noticeable.

Associated, Bushwick can: pours hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma is tropical fruits and the like. Taste is not very bitter. Quite fruity. I thought I remembered daisy cutter being more bitter... hmm. Easy drinking.

Thanks Tim.
Bomber to tulip, the appearance was a rugged burnt orange/copper color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that fell off at a moderate pace. Slight messy lace.
The aroma had some orange marmalade up front with some citrusy and earthy hops. Clean malt base.
The flavor was moderately sweet through the prior mentioned aromas and bled into the aftertaste just as I thought it would - malty with a quick dry sweet sort of finish.
The palate was about medium bodied with a fair sipping quality about it. Carbonation and ABV felt fine. Fairly smooth along my tongue.
Overall, pretty good DIPA, a bit \"old school\" but worked for me.

(On tap @ CBC 2016 Yellow Session, Copenhagen) Nice dark gold, with a huge eggshell head. Nose is generally hoppy, on the musky tropical fruit and grass end of the spectrum, notes of guava, pine, fresh grass, a little passion fruit, with some semi-sweet pale malt in behind supporting, and a bit of a creamy sweet note almost like there was lactose added. Flavour is underripe guava and guava skin, grassy hops, a bit of citrus pith, light pale malt with a hint of grain, on the dry side for a DIPA and almost mineral, well balanced, with a fairly bitter pith and grass finish. Medium bodied, slightly above average carb. Nice palate cleanser after a whole spate of sours and stouts, but not a palate wrecker.

Can into a snifter showing moderately filtered orange with half a finger of clean white foam. The nose shows champagne yeast, malts, and light floral hops. The palate is medium bodied and moderately carbonated. Light floral flavors of champagne yeast and hops with a strong malt back bone. Nice and solid. Pine resin bitterness on the finish.
