As advertised, this is a multi-faceted hop forward double. It starts with a pungent hoppy nose, fresh and zesty. All the expected hop elements are there -- citrus, tropical fruit, pine and grapefruit. The malt is understated but balancing. A touch of grassiness and a hint of juicy grapes completes a very tasty double IPA.

Aroma of citrus, tropical fruits, floral notes, fresh hops. Flavour is light sweet with a nice bitter finish. Nice and tasty.
The IPA is strong with this one. It's good, but I don't know if I would have picked it up if it wasn't for the badge.

Can (7.0% ABV). Deep golden body with lots of flecks beneath a thin off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of pine and burnt orange. Flavour of caramel and pine. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. I love these amber coloured, high IBU American IPAs.

can. pours dark orange, orange head. wow. dark. Aroma not as strong as I had expected. Pine and grapefruit. Very high bitterness, some aromatic and some just herbal hoppy bitter. Bitterness is quite tasty but off the charts, the bitterness is mostly like grapefruit flesh, only perhaps a bit more bitter. nice malty base that does not get in the way of the agressive but still aromatic and rounded bitterness. A great sipper IIPA

Can. Deep golden color, Marmelade and floral notes in the aroma. Malty yet dry, floral, slightly perfumed flavor with a tobacco aftertaste. Firmly hopped.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a yellowish head. The aroma has notes of malt, hops, and straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of lemons, straw, pine needles, leading to a bitter finish
