Growler thanks to Jcwattsrugger. Pours light caramel with off white head. Nose/taste of pineapple, caramel malt, bitter bitter hops and dank resin. Medium body. Finishes bitingly bitter resin.

On tap at the source. Pours a deep clear copper color with a decent white head that’s leaves a fair amount of sticky lace on its journey down the glass. Smells of hops, no really. Dank resinous pine mixed with grapefruit and other light citrus. Malt, uhm yeah, I’m sure there’s some malt in there but I can’t find it. Taste is an explosion of pine and resin moderated only slightly with citrus ala grapefruit and apricot. Malt, yeah there’s a hint of bread and caramel but its hard to find. Medium body and carbonation level with a dank sticky resinous mouthfeel. I really liked this dipa, its actually really good which surprised me a little.

Draft. Orange hue in the hazy yellow liquid. Lots of tantalizing citrus and grapefruit in the aroma. Light retention in the pint. Flavor is exclusively hops. Name your hop and you can find it in this brew. Citrus, pine resin and grapefruit. Medium body. Very juicy and slick mouthfeel. Nice lingering hop bite in the finish, somewhat dry after the sip. Hop heads should really enjoy this one, I did. Something to be said about a freshly made, huge hop brew, from the source.

on tap @ GIBF, great DIPA, really smooth and nice citrus/pine taste, not overbearing, good alcohol content, you know your drinking a DIPA, but you can have more than one.
