bomber. Glowing orange-red, cloudy. Nose of stone fruit, oranges, papaya. Great rich fruit, pine too. rich and fruity flavor, more tropical fruit, deep rich malt, bit of booze in the finish, nectarine, marmalade. This was far from fresh, but still quite good indeed.

22oz bottle thanks to Steveoj. Pours out a hazy gold topped with a small head. Nose is nice pine citrus hops and a nice malt sweetness. Taste is more of the pine citrus hops a nice light bitterness on the end.

A nice break from the lighter end of the spectrum. Medium amber, slightly cloudy. Pretty mild for a DIPA. Body, aroma, taste, all right in the wheelhouse.

Very nice. Had no idea this rated so highly when I took the first sip but it certainly deserves accolades. Golden pour with good head and lacing. Citrus and some hay. Bittersweet finish. Creamy texture and soft carbonation. Extra points for drinkability at this high alcohol level. Tap at Churchkey.
