Bottle @ weekly tasting shared with Dutchdrebus. Hazy slightly pale orange color, medium to full sized creamy off-white head that lasts for a decent while and leaves fair to good lacing. Aroma is malts, hops, oranges and lightly mandarin. Taste malts, hops, tangerine, orange, bitter, some fruitpeel bitter, a hint of orangepeel especially in the aftertaste. Medium to full body, firm fizzy carbonation. Not bad at all, but the fizzy carbonation and the fruitpeel / orangepeel bitterness annoy me.

The appearance has a hazy golden orange somewhat brown body with a half finger’s worth of foamy head that concaves a bit into the body.
The smell has a malty sweet yet light citrus trying to burst through. It stays a bit backward throughout the beer for the most part.
The taste is mainly sweet with a stronger breadier note to the flavoring and more of a grapefruit/lemon-ness comes out as it warms. There is a strong grapefruit aftertaste with a quick citrus somewhat dry finish.
On the palate, she sits about a medium on the body, comes across fairly sessionable. Carbonation seems to be good for the style and good for me.
Overall, this is a good DIPA that I would have again, nothing to scream about, but definitely worth having again.
