Hazy orange amber beer, decent pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth malts, sweet caramel. Sweetish piney hops. Light hop spice. Touch of ripe orange marmalade. Spicy orange, Smooth finish. Spicy linger. Most disappointing, Initially I thought this must be an old bottle but there is enough hop markers here to indicate that is not that case. Sweetish and disjointed.

Bottle from my brother. Nice hop aroma leads into much deeper, robust taste. Fruity, slick, nice slippery body. Very smooth for a DIPA.

Tasting at Matt’s
Hazy light amber color, small head. Lean body; pretty good, but the malt is not very deScriptive, the hops are a bit resiny and fruity but also nothing special. Good without being excellent.

Simple ipa hop aroma. Some leather in thar. Certainly is high hopped, no doubt. Lots of hops, wew. Hop impressions begin to kick some ass as the session continues. Big bitter finish.

22 oz. bottle, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out resinous hops, some caramel and bready notes - not overly cohesive, but pleasant. Flavour is quite chewy, with resinous and spicy hops, and bready malt to back. Well-balanced and cohesive. Nothing mind-blowing, but it's well-integrated. Very good.

This was poured into a snifter.
The appearance was a semi-hazy bronzed color with a light transparency about it. Carbonation could be seen rising at a moderate pace. A one finger white foamy head started and dissipated leaving messy lacing running all over the place.
The smell starts off with a sticky resinous sharp sprucy/piney-ness that lingers over some light caramel malts.
The taste balances nicely between the caramel malts and the bitter sprucy/piney-ness. It leaves a nice dry sprucy/caramel aftertaste leading into a light dry piney finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Carbonation runs nicely to allow a nice bitterness to invade and become what its supposed to be for this beer and style.
Overall, this was a well worthy DIPA I’d have again.

Bottle from Southern Tier Super Pack. Pours a nice amber color. Rather slick and not much of a head. Aromas of dank hops and sweet bready malt. Taste is of tropical fruits, a bit of pine, and a bit of caramel. Medium body with average carbonation. Pretty easy drinkin’ for 9%.
