From tap at Hair of The Dog, Portland. Aroma is juicy fruity hops, sweetish slowly riping fruits, pine resin, soft malt, grapefruit, citrussy with orange. Flavour is moderate sweet with a bitter finish. Body is medium. Wow, such a smooth and balanced IIPA, lovely example of the style.

(Bottle, thanks to Håkan) Amber colour, slightly hazy, with foamy tan head. Fruity, hoppy nose with orange peel, mango, peaches, caramel and grainy malt. Fruity, malty, hoppy taste with notes of orange peel, apricots, mango, pink grapefruit, caramel, pine needles, peaches, rye bread and a generous citric/piney bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a certain malt sweetness. Tasty and well made DIPA, with a good rye-ish malt character. Very nice.

Canned 07/11/19. A bit old, but doesn't really taste it. Pretty heavy for the ABV, bit of maltyness, lots of hop. Tons of mango, bit of piney bitterness, fairly thick backbone. Smooth. Not really my favorite kind of IPA, but definitely well made.
