Location: Draft at Bad Apple, 6/11/14
Aroma: The aroma is heavy citrus/grapefruit, some pine and caramel notes as well
Appearance: Pours an orange-amber color with a decent sized beige head and decent lace
Flavor: The flavor is grapefruit/citrus, some sweetness, but with much more bitterness
Palate: The body is medium-full, decent carbonation, and some boozy heat as well
Overall Impression: This is a pretty nice high ABV DIPA. You definitely get some booze here, but it is a tasty beer. They did a nice job with this one.

Bottle shared with Yanick. Pours cloudy orange with white head. Nose and taste of perfume hops, resin, grapefruit peel, citrus, caramel malt, hop oil and tree sap. Medium body. Bitter finish.

Bombee poured into a shaker. Pours a clear dark orange with a half finger of off white head. Aroma is loads of citrus and just a hint if pine. Taste is heavily bitter. Pine resin and citrus dominated. Full bodied with a slightly sticky texture. Lively carbonation and a long, warming finish. Overall this is awesome. Another homerun from spiteful.
