(Bottle, thanks to Håkan) Golden orange colour, slightly hazy, with big frothy off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of citrus, tropical fruit, orange, mandarin, peaches and mango. Fruity, hoppy taste with citrus, ripe tropical fruit, peaches, orange, mandarin, mango, passion-fruit, white bread, soft malt, pine needles, grass and a balanced citric/tropical bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a certain sweetness. Rich, juicy, tasty and really well balanced. Great beer!

Tall can from Brewcraft at home. Hazy peachy orange pour with puffy white head. Looks really good. Aroma is grapefruit pine resin and orange. Very nice. Taste is smooth citrus pith bitterness with some dankness in the background, little bit of pineapple too maybe. Malt is light. Alcohol not overpowering. Palate is smooth and fluffy with a good amount of carbonation. Very refined but strong citrus and dank hoppiness. Very very good.

Tall can. Cloudy yellow with a white head. Perfumy, citrus hop aroma. The flavor starts out with a strong bitterness that seems coarse at first, then grows on you towards the finish. At least it's not a syrupy sweet mess.

Ridiculously hazy golden and raw honey coloured body with a bright orange glow and a thickness, all with a thinnish, pure white head, about two centimeres tall at first, but fading fast. Aroma of very strong grapefruit, lemons, citrus, oranges, resin, a light dose of pine, all with a good support from malt, some noticeable alcohol and a dash of caster sugars and bright fructose. Medium to Full-bodied; Very dense and pungent mouthful with a lot of deep malts and support at first that shows some alcohol, resin, pungent sweetness and a heavy hand from the hops with a good bitterness, but even better complexity and depth, with some pine, flowers and grass cutting through the pungency. Aftertaste is deep, but full of flavour with the bitterness from the hops sitting pretty, with the pine, resin and floral notes very strong along with some dryness, a ton of malt and even more alcohol and sweetness, which gives this a great richness and smooth complexity. Overall, a very nice and enjoyable Imperial-ish (definitely on that edge) IPA that hits all the right marks and is as good as you'd expect (or want) it to be. A very nice beer that should be searched for, especially if you live in the states surrounding Iowa (which is where I find most of my beers from them), and drink it fresh! I sampled this sixteen ounce can, purchased from Krisp Market (BestDamnBeerShop) in San Diego, California on 25-February-2020 for US$5,49 sampled at home in Washington on 13-May-2020.

Can from Tfontana, thanks for the opportunity! Hazy lemon yellow in color with a huge frothy bone white head that persists. Earthy tropical citrus with light pith and a light sweet bread to counter.

Pours unclear blonde, big white head, good stability. Smell is citrus. Bit 'green'. Taste is full, citrus, sharp, bit 'green' . Decent IPA, but not very memorable, and lacks some intensity in hoparoma to me.

Taste comprises weed, orange pith, grapefruit zest, pine resin, grass. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with balanced dank laden hop bitterness. Solid DIPA.

16 oz. can (1/15/20) pour from Andover Classic Wines. Appearance is opaque yellow-orange with light sparkle at the edges of the glass, finger-width white foamy head with decent retention and trace lacing. Aroma is strong tropical fruit, orange citrus, pine, hint of herb. Taste is sweet tropical fruit and citrus countered with strong bitter pine; stronger herb than aroma. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, average-to-lively carbonation and more bitter than sweet finish with lingering dry bitterness. Overall, strong aroma and flavor but the sweet and bitter clash rather than complement each other. You've got to pick whether you are going to be dominant sweet or bitter and then use the other for balance but this is too wild of a swing to work well. Look is right for the style but 100 IBU is not. Also, a bit thin and too carbonated. Not bad by any means but don't think it should be as highly regarded as it is.
