Bottle thanks to Nick. Pours a cloudy orange with medium frothy beige head that lasts. The aroma is grapefruit and pine. Medium mouthfeel with nice hop bite, grapefruit and light bready malt finish. Very good.

Pours deep gold into a snifter. White pancake head with excellent retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Caramel, resin and pine aromas. Sweet caramel and toffee upfront turning to bitter pine before the lasting earthy resin finish.

Draught at Tap House Munich. Deep orange, hazy body, with a medium, creamy, white head. Great tropical fruit aroma of grapefruit, mango, passion fruit, banana, dried fruits, grains, some pine. Taste with the same aromas, very very smooth and perfectly balanced. Mouthfeel is medium, oily to creamy, with a medium carbonation and it finishes smooth, bitter, sour and very fruity. Fantastic DIPA! A tropical fruit bomb, that is so well balanced, as so many beers from FFF! The alcohol is very well hidden, so that this is easy to drink. Just tasty!

Draught at Local Option, 4/18/14
Pale blonde beer with a touch of amber tints through the middle. White head atop shows strong retention.
Aroma strikes a slightly sour note, not strongly so or anything but seems to stem from either way too much toasted malt (very doubtful), too much yeast stink (possible) and/or hops being old/over-steeped (most likely). Tons of orange rind, white grapefruit and some bready malt notes along with a vanilla note that dosent belong. No alcohol, and no flaws other than the heavy-handed astringency/sourness.
Flavor is just punishingly bready...I guess the closest thing I can use to describe it would be a sourdough bread slurry with some maltiness thrown in. Dominates everything else, and while the mouthfeel/texture are perfectly fine, the beer seemingly finely attenuated and not too much on the alcohol, whatever this massive astringency is, it completely ruins it. I’m not even sure my girlfriend and I were able to finish the pint between the two of us (and I RARELY dont finish my beer, even if unpleasant).

Reviewed from notes.
I poured this into a tulip and a chalice.
The appearance was a nice golden orange brown in color with a decent one finger foamy head that rises a bit and falls in a concave sort of fashion leaving some nice foamy lacing in the wake of the fall.
The smell had a ton of grapefruit up front with a decent caramel malty background delicately combining nicely.
The taste was almost a perfect bittersweet between the hops and the malts as it wanted to pummel my taste buds but left just enough assault to still let the tastiness of this beer to wrap itself delicately around my mouth and tongue. There was a light grapefruit like aftertaste to lead into a dry finish.
On the palate, it sat about a light to medium in body with a decent sessionable quality running about my mouth and tongue. The carbonation pummels my mouth and tongue a bit, but not too much.
Overall, this is an absolutely wonderful DIPA well worthy of having again, but because of where I live, I’d have to trade for it again.

Tap@mikkeller bar, CPH - amber pour with a thin white head. Aroma and taste is prominent juicy citrus hoppy, warming malty, some spicy hoppy notes, nice mouthfeel. Lovely stuff. ---Sent via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Nice mix of citrus hops that doesn’t forsake a thick malty backbone like many hop-bomb IPAs these days. Pours brown with nice head and lacing. A little bit of booze and some perfumy aromas on this. Finishes bitter, thick consistency. Bottle thanks to bmoosey.

Tap. Nice citric, pine, grassy hop aroma. Cloudy yellow, offwhite creamy head. Medium body, sticky resinny. Leafy, grapefruit, grass, retsina. Unbalanced towards the sticky hops, gets tiresome.

Bottle, courtesy of olr1984 – thanks! Pours a dusty golden orange, with a thin bit of creamy sand-colored head. Nice legs, good retention. The nose is undoubtedly 3F IIPA; strong citrus and intense florals with a solid malty sweetness. Intense flavor is sweet and strong citrus, light florals, and caramel malt. Really nice malt integration with the powerful citrus. Resembles either a barleywine or rocket fuel, take your pick. Comparable to Dreadnaught, but it doesn’t quite get to that level for me. Still, excellent and I’ll gladly have another when I get the chance.
