An unfiltered Double IPA chock full of Simcoe, Mosaic, Nectaron, and Citra hops. A soft mouthfeel and flavours reminiscent of sweet candied orange slices are complemented by a piney, subtly bitter finish.

Very clear, deep copper and bronze glowing body with an oily, thinnish two centimetre tall tan head that fades fairly quickly that has a very mellow haze toward the bottom. Aroma of resin, syrup, alcohol, malt, honey and a light dose of citrus fruits, but some cloying scents are noticeable. Medium to Full-bodied; Rich, sweet flavour from the syrup, resin and honey with a large malt backbone, some subtle floral and grassy hop notes, but no real bitterness with earthy, slightly biscuity and floral malt that adds a large backbone, but some fruit finishes this off nicely with peaches and apricots and associated sweetness at the end. Aftertaste is deep, cloying, sweet, rich and showing a super pungent, ultra-sweet and relatively noticeable alcohol bite at the end, but shows fairly nicely, considering how deep it could be. Overall, a nice and very sweet, super pungent and deep beer that has a lot of resin, some soft hop notes, but a strong finish that all hits without too much hops at all. Nice to sample, even though this beer isn't perfect - it's pretty nice overall and very sweet. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 24-October-2020 for US$5,29 sampled at my house here in Washington on 08-November-2020.
