Bottle split at Clerko tasting, thanks to Danny, 10/09/15. Lightly hazed orange amber with a decent light beige cap. Nose is caramel malt, pine, earthy hop presence, melon, orange. Taste comprises candied fruits, pine needle, caramel malt, light spice, grapefruit, sweet licks, bready. Medium + bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with hop bitterness present. Ok DIPA in an old skool way.

Bottle from Darby’s Liquor, Vancouver
No dating on the bottle. The cap is waxed, not difficult to remove, but I would gladly save 1$ and do without wax. It has a beautiful hazy golden color with medium sized head. The aroma is rich with undeniable hop quality, very piney, a bit citrusy and skunky, a hint of cedar wood. Lean body, moderately sweet, hence highly drinkable, also because the alcohol is just a warning feeling; perfect malt canvas, lightly biscuity, and then the hopping appears with piney resins and sweet orange peel, moderately fruity too. Long pleasant final.
Excellent beer, but too expensive.

Deep Amber golden color. Frothy white head. Huge resiny nise with tons of malt, but not overpowering. Heady, with pine, leafy and tons of crystal and caramel malt backbone. Thick, but super enjoyable IIPA. Big bitter finish with modest sweetness.

650ml bottle from Beer Central, Sheffield - Hazy amber body, fluffy perfect white head, lasts all the way down. Nose is heavy floral and hoppy, citrus fruit, some grassy notes, and some spice. Taste is exquisite. Loads of boozy punch, a lot of syrupy sour citrus, some resin, lots of tropical, and a finish that goes on for days. Oily to the tongue makes this stick for ages. I feel honoured to have this land in the UK!!!!

Pours an orangey, medium amber. It looks a tiny bit hazy, but I think it’s just the color and density of the beer. Medium head, just a touch off white. Lots of fine bubbles with good retention. The aroma is milder than expected. Pretty standard grapefruit, pine and floral flavors. Some booze, but not too bad. Some caramel maltiness. Sweet bubblegum note knocking around. The taste is sweet and rich with hop flavor. Quite a bit of pine resin and grapefruit. Mild bitterness at first, builds to moderate towards the end and in the finish. Some booze. It’s a >10% abv DIPA, so that’s forgivable, but it’s all a bit much. There’s a lot of flavor, and it’s kinda messy. The malt comes through but pretty much just as simple sweetness. Fairly astringent. Still, it’s tasty. Fairly heavy mouthfeel. Long finish. Oily. Interesting beer. Tons of flavor. It just feels like they tried to make it big without much other thought.
