bottle - Pours hazy gold with a lasting white head. The aroma is of citrus hops and Belgian yeast. The flavor is aggressively bitter with citrus and earthy notes with underlying malty sweetness. Very good.

Bottle. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Dark yellow colour. Moderate malty and heavy hoppy aroma. Pine and lemon. Moderate bitter flavor. Pine dominating. Average moderate bitter finish. Oily palate and a little too fizzy.

Bottle: Hazy yellow with a pillowy white head. Yeast, orange, mildly funky aroma. Taste is lightly bitter citrus-peel, yeasty grain malt..... slightly oily....decent bodied, increasing orange notes as it warms... Not bad...but nothing that really stands out from the crowd.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 3/16/2016. Pours lightly hazy golden amber color with a 2 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Dense soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, pineapple, peach, apricot, pear, passion fruit, mango, melon, lemon/orange peel, peppercorn, clove, pine, light banana, light honey, bread, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of juicy citrus/tropical/pine hops, fruity spicy yeast, and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, pineapple, peach, apricot, pear, passion fruit, mango, melon, lemon/orange peel, peppercorn, clove, pine, light banana, light honey, bread, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Moderate pine/citrus peel/grassy bitterness and yeast spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of tangerine, pineapple, peach, apricot, pear, passion fruit, mango, melon, lemon/orange peel, peppercorn, clove, pine, bread, and floral/yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of juicy citrus/tropical/pine hops, fruity spicy yeast, and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from bitter/spiciness, increasing through the glass. Medium-high carbonation and medium plus body; with a very smooth, moderately sticky/resinous, and fairly creamy/grainy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Well hidden alcohol, with a light warmth lingering after the finish. Overall this is an outstanding Belgian DIPA! All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of juicy citrus/tropical/pine hops, fruity spicy yeast, and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV. A highly enjoyable offering.
