Poured into a tulip, the appearance was a semi-transparent copper color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that stiffened a bit and then slid off at a decent pace.
The aroma had some citrusy/piney bitter to sweet blend over top of some biscuit and white bread. Leaned more towards orange pulpy sweetness as it warmed.
The flavor took the prior mentioned aromas to blend fairly nice and add in a little bit of white pepper. Mild aftertaste of the orange pulp, bread and pine. Finish seemed to be closer to the orange pulpy sweetness.
The palate was almost medium bodied, seemed to be just a tad under. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt fine.
Overall, I didn’t mind this one, maybe perhaps one of those \"old school DIPA’s\" which I’m guessing will probably be considered a true style within the next couple of years just to imbalance the upset of this new \"New England style DIPA\" or something of the sort.

Can, didn’t catch the date, drunk 12/10/16.
Clear, brassy-golden, with a good-sized white head atop showing moderate to moderately strong retention.
Strong vegetal, leafy, citrus/pine-forward hops in the nose backed by a bit of sourdough and biscuit. Lots of dry, orange marmalade and not so much resinous as it is peppery and heavily given to citrus rind astringency. Not boozy, though and seemingly well-attenuated.
Bitter with just too much stewed hop character and a somewhat hard texture, despite it at least being rather dry. Honey, bread and biscuit with strong orange rind, heavy pine (though again, fairly resin-free) and peppery carbonation. A rather outdated IPA and it’s just hard to enjoy these, especially during a night filled with Tree House and Trillium....

Pours ruby-tinged clear mahogany into a shaker. Off-white head with good retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Resin and orange aromas. Thick with hot caramel and sour overripe hot peach turning to bitter pits and peel in the lasting finish.

Bottle pour at SAVOR 2016. Poured a clear golden orange color. Aroma was strong citrus, spicy hop notes. Lots of boozy caramel notes in this one.

Re-rate 1/15: Can shared at a tasting at Stas’s place. Lovely fruity ans slightly "green" hops aroma, with a bit of malt. Flavor has some malt, nice fruity hops with "green" and piney note and a bitter finish. Medium-bodied. Very nice. Apparently it’s the same batch as the previous can I tasted, but it smells and tastes completely different. 8/3/7/3/15=3.6
Can sample at a tasting at the Beer & Beyond shop. Thanks Amit. Clear deep golden-copper/ Aroma of slightly caramelly malt and some mild fruity hops. Sweetish malty flavor with slightly stale fruity hops and a nice bitter finish. Medium-bodied. 6/3/7/3/13=3.2
