Draft. A hazy light golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma has thick notes of hops lending it notes of citrus fruits and spices. The flavor is sweet with a thick malt profile. Nice that it is so pale and yet with such a strong body. The alcohol tickles the tongue and warms in the throat.

Sampler at Breakwater. Pours golden, thick white head, with lasting head. Aroma, piney hops Taste, superbly hoppy, pine, light fruits, with light bitter finish and a tad spices. Love the use of hops in DIPA and the hops are there but just ruining the whole palate. @ 9.4% this was easy to drink and amazingly tasty.
