Pint on tap at Little Grande, Columbus, courtesy of Kavita--thanks, K! Lightly hazy, bright golden yellow, thin head and light lacing. Aroma and taste are similar with strong citrus over fruit salad. Smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste with mild bitterness.

Fairly hazy copper and bronze coloured body with a thick, three centimetre tall off-white head that stays afloat nicely and shows a zillion bubbles rising from the bottom - very nice. Aroma of bright grassy and very herbal hops with some rounded malts and a dash of citrus fruits along with a good deal of sweetness and a dry perfumey finish. Aftertaste shows a lot of bitterness from the alpha acids of the hops with a good balance from rich malts with a nice grapefruity and citrusey hop characteristic with some smooth sweetness at the very end - very well-rounded and showing a lot of flavours throughout that make this nice and pungent but still fairly easy-drinking! Overall, a very nice Imperial-ish IPA that has a great grassy and citrusey characteristic with tons of old school bitterness, but enough sweetness and dryness to make this complex and balanced - a good beer to try and sample! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Rozi's Wine & Liqours in Cleveland, Ohio on 31-July-2021 for US$2,09 sampled in my hotel room here in Wasau, Wisconsin on 06-August-2021.

12 ounce bottle.Only one month old. Pours a clear golden orange color with a small white head. A light fruity nose. Sweet bready malts initially, sticky sweet hops, toast, lemon and oranges especially. Pretty smooth. Solid, but not anything spectacular.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 6/12/2017. Pours fairly hazy/cloudy medium golden/amber/light orange color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper, pine, cracker, white bread, light honey/caramel, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper, pine, cracker, white bread, light honey/caramel, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, lemon/orange peel, pepper, pine, cracker, white bread, light honey/caramel, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from bitterness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy/sticky, and lightly resinous balanced mouthfeel that is awesome. Zero warming alcohol for 8.3%. Overall this is an amazing DIPA! All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the balanced bitter/drying finish. Extremely vibrant, juicy, and dank hops; with a great malt backbone that is never sweet or heavy feeling. Very smooth and never aggressive on bitterness. A highly enjoyable offering.

Poured into a tulip, the appearance was a hazy gold color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that had a decent lace after dissipation.
The aroma had some citrus sweet and bitter components, smooth sweet tropical glossing, clean malt, some bitter pine and a light floral pillowy smooth hoppiness.
The flavor was bittersweet and pulling the tropical and citrus tastes into the blend pretty nice. Aftertaste blended well between the malts and hops pretty clean. Finish was just a tad sticky but acceptable.
The palate was about medium bodied with a good sipping structure to it. Carbonation felt good. ABV felt good.
Overall, thanks Blaine for the bottle! I’d have this again.
