A well-balanced double IPA with a semisweet malt backbone & complimented with generous amounts of citrus & tropical fruit hops. Rich, delicious & rewadingly punishing.

Can while watching the game at Fedex Field, MD 29/11/2015 - good to see some craft beer on sale. Big grassy hops, tropical fruits, sweet caramel malts and a dry finish. Good.

Big citrus in front with some booze and a little potpourri. Pours amber with ok head. Bitter and tangy finish. Good balance. Tap at brewpub.

24K of liquid gold sitting under a +1 finger head of foam.Seriously slow shrinkage.
Big notes of bread, some pine as far as hops go but put them together and I find a 50-50 balance of sweet vs bitter.
Sweet to start off with, bread and caramel malt, it morphs as the sips go on to a citrus hoppiness...vs a real bitterness. The balance is nice and the abv seems to be in check pretty well.
Thickish mouthfeel but short of full bodied though, at times during the session, it feels like it.
An interesting IPA here. It has its merits and its lower points, referring to the bready notes; if I had gotten more caramel sweetness, I’d have liked it more..still, a big thanks to Robert for the chance to try this beer!!

12oz can pours a clear orange with lots of creamy, lacing white head. Nose is old school DIPA, big pine, heavy orange, heavy soap, some honey, a little candy sugar, some papaya, hints of guava, but lots of citrus. Flavor follows along, some tropical fruit sweetness at the forefront, but mostly big pine, blood orange, even a bit sprucey, some honey, a little party punch. Full bodied, bitter finish. Old school take with hints of new school hops.

3-4 ounce taster at Jailbreak poured into a tasting glass. Resiny golden yellow with off-white head. Aromas of tropical fruit, honey, stone fruit. Tasting notes of tropical fruit, citrus, floral notes and hops. Medium body with a semi-dry finish.
