16 oz can from Paragon, 7/24/25. Pours a mostly clear orange color with an off-white head. Strong lacework as well. Pineapple and grains, some grapefruit, and a little bit herbal as well. Nothing wrong with this beer, but it's not exciting either. Fine overall.

Taster at brewery. Golden pour, persistent thin off-white head. Aroma is nice classic, earthy, piney hops. Taste brings a full, creamy layer of caramel malts with a thin layer of piney, grassy, floral hops. Not overly hoppy for a DIPA

Hazy yellow-gold pour with a medium white head that diminishes gradually to a film. Short strings of lace. Aroma of grassy hops, citrus and malt. Medium body with flavors of grassy hops, grapefruit and biscuit malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a lingering citrusy hop aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Crystal clear lighter golden coloured body with a nice, dense, four to five centimetre tall, super microfoamed off-white and light tan head, all on top of the almost perfectly clear glowing yellow body. Aroma of bright, dry hop elements with some citrus fruits, grain, flowers, pine and fresh-cut grass all noticeable with a hint of alcohol detected in the nose, but no sweetness. Medium-bodied; Biting dryness and fresh floral hop notes dominate here initially with a good grapefruit, grass and piney bite and bitterness from the alpha acids, without any real sweetness and not much malt support, which is okay for this one. Aftertaste is crisp, dry, floral, grassy and bitter (from the hops) in sort of an 'old school' way, with this hitting much more light a slightly deeper brut IPA than any other sub-style. Overall, a very nice, elegant and super dry/crisp beer that does show alcohol and extensive hop bitterness, but as you'd expect as an Imperial-ish IPA - nice overall and worth trying to find, especially if you like drier/brutier options! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in New York (Columbus Circle), New York on 20-December-2020 for US$5,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 18-January-2021.

Can at home, picked up from BD Bingoham, 11/08/19. Hazed orange golden with a well presented off white covering. Nose carries Old Skool DIPA aromas, pine, ripe citric zest, grapefruit, caramel malts. Taste comprises sweet malts, orange pith, grass, pine, bitter tropical fruits, papaya, ripe melon. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with semi aggressive hop bitterness. Decent enough Old Skool leaning DIPA.

Keg at BD Tower Hill. Juicy aroma with added resin.Opaque bright orange. Thin translucent white head. Light-medium bitter. Some tangy sourness. Stone fruits. Medium bodied. Slick. Slow fizzy carbonation. Dry astringent finish. Hides the booze well enough but still has some kick.
