On tap at the brewery. Pours a hazy gold with medium white head leaving sticky lacing. The aroma is dank and citrus. Slick body, dank, grapefruit, melon, lingering bitterness, very good.

Relatively clear light amber and copper coloured body with a good two centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of very piney and resinous hops with a nose of hop powder and some very high alpha acid contents, with a good deal of malt noticeable and some alcohol too of course. Medium-bodied; Assertive grassy and herbal hop flavours at first with a big dose of resin and even some grapefruit notes, but the malt balances it out quite nicely, just shows a good deal of the alcohol is left over. Aftertaste is fairly well-rounded with some hop bitterness from the citrus and resinous hops, but also a good balance and moderate sweetness from all of the sugars and malt, along with a balanced profile throughout. Overall, a nice Imperial IPA with a good amount of flavours and a solid profile and a smooth complexity near the end. Enjoyable and about right for the style, nothing more and nothing less. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Corner Store (Bait & Tackle) in West Palm Beach, Florida yesterday on 26-December-2017 for US$4,19 sampled in my hotel room here in Cocoa Beach, Florida just a few hours later on 26-December-2017.

Pale. Nice citrusy, fruit hop, with a lot of bitterness. Pale malts are quite clean. This is a mellow, easy-drinking example of the style, despite the high ABV.

Bottle. Resinous nose, piny, oanges, honey. A bit oxidized as it is a little bit old. Nice hop balance with orange and big resins. Oily and full. This should be awesome fresh on tap.

Golden amber color. Big caramel nose with tons of white grapefruit, honey, oranges. Big sticky mouth with tons of grapefruit, caramel and oranges. A bit aged, but still fantastic.

Bottle. A- Caramel, breast, citrus. A- Orange color, cloudy liquid, white head. T- Caramel, bread dough, citrus, subtle black pepper. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Particles in appearance suck but not bad taste wise. Kind of old school. Lots of caramel and breast notes. Doesn’t taste as big as a DIPA. Maybe it was a touch old but certainly not aggressive.

Draft pour at Lost & Found. Poured a clear orange color with a small head. Aroma was light pine resin. Sweet malt notes and some booze. Well, maybe a bit more than some booze, but it’s pretty smooth overall.
