Bottle thanks to Jsquire. Pours faintly cloudy bright yellow with largish foamy off-white head, floral hops aroma, low carbonation, bitter piney flavored hops taste, long bitter finish with citrus peel aftertaste. Robustly hopped but not annoying.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy golden orange color with a 2 finger dense and rocky off white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big pineapple, peach, mango, melon, grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, orange peel, light pine, honey, light caramel, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great complexity and balance of juicy citrus/tropical hops and moderate malt sweetness; with great strength. Taste of big pineapple, peach, mango, melon, grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, orange peel, light pine, honey, light caramel, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Fair amount of pine/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of pineapple, peach, mango, melon, grapefruit, tangerine, lemon/orange peel, light pine, honey, light caramel, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness for a while. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of juicy citrus/tropical hops and moderate malt sweetness; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a very smooth and moderately creamy/sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is an excellent east coast DIPA style. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of juicy citrus/tropical hops and moderate malt sweetness; and very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.

My bottle label is quite different. $3 at vintage. Nice viscous pour with a slight haze and rocky head. Smell is straight up ipa flora with no BO. First taste is heavy ipa all the way. Mouth coating rude nasty hoppy preservative medicinal bite that overwhelms the whole experience. What else can be said except that its terribly on style. Not impressed but if you like this style, seek it out.

Sample at The Ohio Taproom. The beer is a slightly cloudy copper-orange color with a medium off-white head that recedes gradually to an outer ring. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, hops and malt. Medium-bodied with flavors of grapefruit, earthy hops and toasted malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a fruity hops aftertaste. Above average overall.

Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle, from jsquire, poured into a snifter. Translucent orange with suspended yeast and small off-white head. Aroma is citrus, medium body, medium carbonation, and some small-bubble lacing. Taste is citrus (mostly grapefruit), some pine, and bitter finish. Pretty good and quite flavorful.

Draft - Sharp, bright grapefruit and some pine. Clear copper with a rich beige head. Woody, pine, earthy and a herbal sweetness. Bitterness is balanced by sweetness.

Bottle. Cloudy golden color, thick white head. Aroma of grapefruit, pone, citrus. Taste lives up to its name, very bitter citrus.

Growler. Poured a clear gold with an amber hue and a white head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma was mainly pine with some backing citrus and a slight hay backbone. Flavor began with hay and grain but was overtaken by a strong pine finish with just a bit of citrus in there as well.
