Bottle. Deep golden/orange body with a frothy, white head. Aroma of resin, grapefruit, toasted grain, alcohol. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and moderately to heavily bitter. Medium to full body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Resin, pine and grapefruit taste with strong sweet malt backbone that’s a bit too much.

Hazy golden orange beer with big and long lasting head. Aroma has malts, caramel, some citrus. Not very fresh, neither is the taste, which has malts, caramel, soap, pepper and some bitter citrus feeling at the end. Full body, low carbonation, quite sweet with drier and more bitter end. Could be more fresh.

12oz bottle at home bought from Saveur Biere (I think). Bottled 04/27/2016. amber clear color, medium big yellowish head. smells of resin, parfumy, candy, spices, caramel, lightly peppery, smells ok but rather old hoppy. full body, soft carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes of resin, candy, spices, a bit soapy, some lychee, lemon grass, peppery, rather old hoppy again. finshes rather dry and lightly bitter with notes of resin, lychee and some spices. drinks still pretty good but the hop notes are all kind heavy / lack crispness / totally lacks any freshness. Overall in this state drinks quite heavy.

Bottle (from saveur-biere). Pours dark golden-amber with whiteish head. The head stays. Aroma is very hoppy, piney, malty some caramel sweetness. Flavor is sweet and bitter, pine, malt, caramel. Finish is pine-dry bitter with lingering sweetness and bit of booze. Very drinkable, everything is well balanced. Despite being very hoppy it doesn’t feel harsh. Overall: great beer, classic US hoppy style brew.

Cloudy amber, thick offwhite head. Fruity and caramely aroma, some pine too. Smells pretty fresh. Flavour has caramel and woody pine. Starts off creamy, then turns bitter and dry, just barely shy of being too rough. Warming alcohol bite and good balance. I like it.

Sampled on draft at 3R6P this beer poured a cloudy peach color with a medium sized fluffy white head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was sweet pine, lemon and tropical fruit. The flavor was sweet and tangy with cactus, pine, lemon, pineapple and mango. Long finish that turned a bit dry. Moderately full bodied. Ok.

(355ml bottle from boxbeers.dk, date code illegible) Pours clear medium orange with a big pile of long-lasting white froth and lots of lace. Aroma of tangerine, white grapefruit, candied peach, grass, spicy, some pine resin over reasonably sweet malt with some honey and bread to it. Palate is semi-sweet with a mix of orange, tangerine, lime, guava and pine up front over some light bread notes. FInish is dry and rather bitter with citrus oil, pith, pine, resin, spicy hops and a touch of alcohol heat. Medium, oily body with fairly low carbonation. It’s a bottle of AleSmith in Europe so surely not as fresh and bright as it could be,

This was poured into a shifter.
The appearance was a orange (peach skin), color with a thin white foamy head atop of the beer. Thin delicate sticky lacing clings to the glass.
The aroma starts off with sweet tangerines, grapefruits and peaches and slides over top of a nice caramel backbone.
The flavor starts sticky with the blend of the hops to the malts, and adds a light bitter resin for balance. There’s a sly dry peachy to caramel aftertaste leading into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Carbonation runs light. Bitter resin shows some harshness but not too much.
Overall, it’s a good West coast styled DIPA that I could have again.
