Poured into a tulip, the appearance was a deep copper color with a bubbly to semi-foamy off white head. Dissipates quickly and barely leaves any lace.
The aroma had some old school caramel malt up front with a light earthy to piney hop bitterness. Subtle citrus rind underneath.
The flavor takes the previously mentioned aromas to blend decently. Light blended malt to hop bitterness in the aftertaste. Same in the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Moderate carbonation felt fine along with the ABV.
Overall, decent DIPA, I could do this again if handed, but not really one to go out of my way for.

Bottle shared by Kelly and Paul, thanks for the opportunity! Deep copper color with a small bubbly off white head. Rich caramel nose and flavor with faint earthy piney citrus hop aroma and flavor. Moderate hop bitterness. Bottle might be a bit old hard to tell without any obvious dating. Good but not great.

Bottle at level 42 (thanks to L-Dogg). It pours hazy golden - amber with a decent white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, juicy, bready malts, peach, pine needles and varnish. The taste is soft, sweet, juicy, peach, apricot, nectarine, orange creamiscle, candied fruit, toasted sugars, pine and some alcohol boost with a slick finish. Medium body and soft, foamy carbonation. Pretty decent overall.

Bottle shared in London - picked up at the brewery. Pours clear gold with a frothy, white head. The nose holds dry, pale bread, some tangerine, melon. Medium sweet flavour with crackery pale malts, melon, tangerine, some pine needles. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with more crackery pale malts, pine needles, rindy citrus. Decent stuff on the whole.

12 oz. bottle purchased at Julio’s Liquors. Hazy orange color, some lasting head in a standard shaker glass. I always consume my brews at a warmer temperatures. With this I couldn’t get anything other the weak ale yeast and orange marmalade. No bold hop flavors at all.
The bottle neck did have a bottle date but on this bottle it was smudged. The overall feel is very malty with the hop profile feeling very muted. Some mild pine bitterness does show in the finish. The malty sweet marmalade makes me believe this is an older bottle. I paid $3.79 for this bottle and it’s hard to say if I will ever try to grab a fresher sample. Oh well.
