Can. Pours clear rich dark yellow with large foamy beige head, faint malt aroma, high carbonation, medium bitter piney taste with alcohol undertones, thin body, long finish with a bit of throat burn. Decent DIPA.

Malty backbone, caramel, medium dry finish, smooth, clean, malty sweetness, copper brown-ish, slightly white foamy head, toasty/caramelly flavours, not heavy .. just drinkable stuff, ok

473ml can. Opalescent, dark orange, golden to amber colour with average to huge, thick, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, off-white head. Resinous, piney and citrusy fruity, hoppy aroma, condensed but not overly intense hoppiness, notes of tangerine, lemon, candied orange peel, candied lemon peel, rather neutral, malty background. Taste is bitter, zesty, citrusy fruity and resinous, piney hoppy, again condensed but not overly intense hop flavours (especially no mode of expanding, dispersing, dissipating), hints of lemon, resin, caramel malty backbone with subtle residual sweetness. Oily-watery texture, smooth and soft, minimally greasy palate, fine, mildly prickly carbonation. Stuffed, compacted; not a complementary more of flavours, just a cumulative more of the same - not fully convincing (and a bit monstrous indeed).

Pint can from Smokes n Suds. Deep copper color, perfect clarity, and a finger of creamy beige head. Sweet aroma of floral and citrus hops. The taste is a trip down memory lane.. rich hop flavors are sweet and sticky, some florals in there, and a persistent and lingering bitterness. Citrus, piney, and dank. It’s big and bold, a textbook example of the classic DIPA.
