22 ounce bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating but was purchased recently. Pours lightly hazy orange amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings to the glass. Aromas of huge mango, orange, grapefruit, pineapple, tangerine, passion fruit, caramel, floral, and light herbal. Fantastic aromas with huge tropical fruit notes; it is unlike any other DIPA I have had in the past. Big hop sweetness; but it is so inviting even without the pine resin I am so used to having in an IPA. Taste of big orange, pineapple, mango, caramel, pine, grapefruit, passion fruit, tangerine, orange rind, floral, honey, and herbal spiciness. Nice amount of spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of tropical fruits, citrus, citrus rind, pine, caramel, floral, herbal, and grass on the finish for a good bit. Fantastic hop complexity and malt balance; zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a fairly creamy, slick, and crisp mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a fantastic DIPA. Huge hop complexity and balance; very smooth and easy to sip on. This was truly unique as a DIPA, and highly enjoyable.

66cl Bottle brought from the US, thanks H&T! Clear deep amber colour, off-white head. Aroma of spruce, pine, malts, caramel. Flavour is pine and spruce, rather bitter, medium sweet malty, caramel, hint of grain, rather bitter spruce and pine in the finish. Medium bodied. Decent DIPA.

Pours a deep orange-amber color with a medium off-white head that diminishes steadily to a film. Rings of lacing on the glass. The aroma consists of floral hops, fruit and malt. Medium body with a resiny hops character and notes of grapefruit and sweet malt. The finish is hoppy with a fruity aftertaste. Above average overall.

From tap at Taphouse Grill. Pours clear to slight cloudy orange witha small white head. Aroma is peachy and slight mango fruity hoppy. Thick hoppy flavoured. peachy, light pineneedl and lingering mango. Smooth, solid bitterness, yet quite fruity sweet impression to that. Smooth and solid finish.

Cool to be 10th. Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours bright copper with a small off-white head. Aroma is a lot of malt over lightly roasted malt. There’s enough sugar to suggest a barley wine. Full bodied. Lots of mild roast malt. Lots of hop. Hop is floral/resin to me. And there’s a lot of hop. Over malty DIPA? Over hopped barley wine? Well the ABV is low, and the heat is minimal so I guess it really is a DIPA. The resin is attacking my membranes. Would love to know the IBU. Great stuff in any event.

@ Stumbling Monk. Amber and hazy. The aroma is woody, earthy and complex for the style. Sweetish with brown sugar malts and a very earthy character. I like the powdery hop. Earthy, bitter and long.

On tap at Brouwer's Cafe for Hopfest, pours dark orange with a white head. Aroma of tropical fruits and buttery hops. Flavour is quite fruity, with some piney hops and just enough caramel malt. Delicious IIPA.
