Draft. From notes. Nothing heroic about this, more like mild mannered middle management. Some nice citrus hops but not nearly what I was expecting. Way Over hyped.

A hazed golden amber DIPA with a thick frothy lacing off white head. In aroma, sweet biscuit malt with loads of grassy and pungent Galaxy hops, light treacle, pleasant and complex. In mouth, a nice biscuit malt with grassy floral hops, grapefruit pulp, light pungent character, light alcohol warmth, very nice. Bomber at Lalo’s, Midway Airport.

Enjoyed on tap at Reggies in Chicago, IL before my high school punk band is playing a reunion show. Appearance is clearish gold with not much head. Aroma is citrusy, light, but smells good. Taste is pretty good, light hoppy profile. Enjoyable. 2016 re-rate in cans. Much more enjoyable than when I first had it, citrus notes come out fantastically, really this is a great IPA.

Pours gold into a shaker. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Tropical fruit and resin aromas. Dry with caramel upfront turning quickly to resin and citrus.

Sample at 69 Taps. Hazy orange-gold color with a medium white head that dissipates steadily. Stringy lacing. Aroma of tropical fruit, hops and malt. Medium-bodied with flavors of citrusy hops, mango and toasted malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a fruity hops aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Bottle shared at Hamilton during Reunion 2014 late at night when everybody was pretty weary. From scattered notes...This is a good IPA, with lots of juicy citrus and piney elements, some tangerine. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Nicely hoppy finish with enough balancing sweetness, more juicy and citrusy hops, mellow bitterness. Solid.
