Not sure how many times I've been to the Dealership and managed to not try this beer. Slight haze and pale. Medium head. Has some grape, light tartness, not all that complex but comes across natural.

Sample, thanks oh6gdx! Hazy bronze colour, mid sized head. Grapefruity hop aroma. Mid sweet with medium to full body and well rounded mouthfeel. Peppery and grapefruity in firm but rather slender malt. Warming bitter finish. Elite DIPA

9,75 ABV. Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Poured from the tap @ Drake's. Clear deep gold with white head. Lots of resin upfront with some mild crystal and caramel malt in the background. A bit harsh, but okay.

Alcohol, harsh hops, old caramel, herbal, meh

I remember back in the day this was serious trade bait - I had forgotten all about it (and as far as I knew, Drake’s wasn’t even in business anymore) until I saw six packs of this show up in one of my local bottle shops - hot damn, my inner beer nerd from 17 years ago got so happy - this one really does bring me back - classic west coast DIPA - lightly hazy, light copper, clingy and lasting head - nose and flavor are dank and tropical - assertively bitter, but not astringent - a lot of woody, piney, and spicy hop flavor, held in check by a heavy, but not overly sweet malt backbone - long-lingering bitterness and peppery character in the finish - probably would have liked it more back in the day, but it’s dang good to me now, too.

Pours clear gold into a shaker. Bright white head with good retention recedes to coat surface. Mango aromas. Sweet with hot caramel, mango and papaya front to back. Lasting hot caramel finish.
