Poured from 1 pint 6 fl oz bottle. Clear gold with white head. Aroma of sweet biscuity malt and musty funk with subtle hops. Very much the same taste with the hops coming out a bit more at the end.

Hops dominate, as expected. Nice amber body with creamy head. Hops are smooth, piney, some buttery taste. Dry bitter finish.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance had a slightly hazy semi orange/somewhat amber colored body with yellow highlights to help to make it fairly clear, thin white half finger foamy head that dies immediately leaving some adequate foamy sticky lacing in its wake.
The smell had some coconut in the beginning (not sure where I’m gettin’ that, but that’s what I truly got) and after it warms a bit toasted piney caramel plays in my nose.
The taste was somewhat bitter but still sweet through the malty bill that comes through, sticky caramel aftertaste, dry caramel finish.
On the palate, it sat about a medium in body, fairly sessionable - pretty much as any DIPA could be, carbonated very well for the style.
Overall, I say a pretty well done DIPA from No-Li, shout out to Breeze - In for gettin’ this in growler fills.

22 ounce bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours lightly cloudy golden amber color with a 2 finger dense light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big lemon/lime zest, grapefruit, orange peel, floral, grass, pine, herbal, light caramel, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with good complexity of bright citrus/pine hops and light-moderate malt balance; with great strength. Taste of lemon/lime zest, orange peel, grapefruit, floral, grass, pine resin, herbal, light caramel, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Good amount of earthy pine/floral bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon/lime zest, orange peel, grapefruit, floral, grass, pine resin, herbal, light caramel, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Damn nice complexity of bright citrus/pine hops with light-moderate malt presence; with a very crisp malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, crisp, and resinous sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a small warming present after the finish. Overall this is a damn nice DIPA. All around good balance and complexity of resinous citrus/pine hops and light-moderate malt balance; and very smooth and crisp to sip on. A very enjoyable offering.

12 oz bottle. This label says 115 IBUs. Aroma is juicy grapefruit, a little catty, pine. Pours hazy orange with a one finger off-white head with decent retention; leaves some lace. Taste is extremely bitter with only a hint of sweetness. It’s so bitter, it’s hard to pick out any flavors. Body is medium to full, prickly mouthfeel. Not bad; definitely the bitterest beer I’ve had in a long time.

Bomber from the Tin Bucket. Pours a dark copper color with a large off-white head. A sweet lemon, biscuit and yeasty nose. The flavor is odd, maybe off: citrus, big sweetness, almost to DMS corn levels or even perhaps light diacetal, it’s hard to say next to big sweet citrus and malts. Bitterness is medium. Again, it’s a very round odd sweetness, something almost like plastic or corn. I strongly suspect some quality problem here. I’ll happily re-rate. Not too good as is.

Crisp, very nice copper and bronze coloured body with a slight haze and a perfect 3 centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of malt, alcohol, oranges, lemons and a lot of bright piney and citrus hops - very nice smell. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong hoppy flavour with pine and citrus (especially) dominating the flavour, some good malt back notes, a little earthiness and a lot of bitterness from pine and resin. Aftertaste has a great balance of the malt and hops with more of a dominance on the hops - but in a very good way. Overall, a great Imperial IPA, perfectly balanced and showing a ton of flavour, but not too much - great to sample and my only flaw is the large format bottle, but that’s standard here on the West Coast. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased a few minutes ago from Belmont Station in Portland, Oregon on 27-September-2013 for US$8.23 sampled in my hotel room here in Portland on 27-September-2013.

Hazy dark yellow with a tall, off white head. Big hop aroma of citrus and pine resin. The flavor is firmly bitter from start to the finish with malt sweetness that supports but doesn’t become sticky sweet like some IIPAs. Nice one.
