12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 6/13/2017. Pours lightly hazy medium orange/amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, peach, pineapple, passionfruit, mango, melon, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, light pepper/pine, caramel, toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate dark/bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, peach, pineapple, passionfruit, mango, melon, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, light pepper, pine, caramel, toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus rind, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, peach, pineapple, passionfruit, mango, melon, lemon/orange rind, pepper, pine, caramel, toasted bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate dark/bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Mildly increasing warmth of 10% after the finish. Overall this is a very nice DIPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate dark/bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV, with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Very nice mix of juicy, dank, and earthy hop complexity; good sized malt backbone, but not overly sweet/heavy feeling. Definitely a Midwest style type DIPA. A very enjoyable offering.

Bottle. Pours a yellowish gold with a thin head. Aromas of peppery and citrusy hops. Flavor is big and boozy up front with a honey-like sweetness, a non-descript bitterness and then a citrusy prickliness in the finish. It’s OK, but not as good as anything I had on tap at the brewery.

Draft - Sweet and sticky Mandarin . Clear gold with a decent white head. Bitter sweet Mandarin peel with long tropical finish. Nice.

Draft - Pours orange white head - nose/taste of citrus, grapefruit and caramel malt - med body

On tap at the brewpub. Clear light amber with medium off-white head. Aroma is medium dank and some floral, medium carbonation, medium body, and little lacing. Taste is grapefruit, pine dank, and bitter finish. Not bad, but not my kind of double IPA.

Sample at the brewpub. The beer is a pale orange color with a medium foamy white head that diminishes gradually to an outer ring. Sticky rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops, citrus and caramel malt. Medium-bodied with flavors of citrusy hops, earthy malt and pine. The finish is moderately bitter with a fruity hops aftertaste. Decent overall.
