Draft - Pine, grapefruit and light caramel. Clear gold with a white decent head. Grapefruit pith, little spice, resin and a nice long light bitterness.

Bottle form LetsPour. Pours crystal clear orange with a large off white head that is creamy, dissipates slowly, and leaves nice lacing. Aroma is pine, passion fruit, dank grapefruit. Flavor is light sweet, medium bitter, dank and tropical happiness. Medium body, oily mouthfeel. Lingering bitterness. Nice effort.

I received this in a trade.
I poured this into a tulip.
There is no date on it.
The appearance is a clear amber to light red in color. There is a fluffy white one and a half finger head that dissipates within about a minute in spots but maintains a lumpy sort of look in other spots. Decent carbonation is seen rising at a moderate pace.
The smell has a fair amount of honey flavored citrus hops with a decent herbal to earthy dank aroma combining and backing it all up into a nice tight fulfilling quality. Very nice!
The taste is combined well between the citrus hops and the honey to showcase a very nice bittersweetness. The aftertaste is honey sweet with a quick dry sweet finish.
On the palate, it sits about a medium in body with a decent sharpness from a normal DIPA but still leads me on with a nice \"West Coast\" maltiness that is somewhat smooth and ends up coating my mouth and tongue with a touch of honey.
Overall, I get it. This is a very nice West Coast DIPA that is very reminiscent of Hopslam but in the West Coast sort of way. By all means, I would have this again in a heartbeat.

On tap at Brouwer's Cafe for Hopfest, pours a hazy golden with a white head. Aroma of intense pine, resin and tropical fruits. Flavour is intensely piney and resinous with boatloads of hops, with a beautiful accompaniment of tropical fruits and heaps of caramel to balance. Tons of fruity hops with lots of resin. Beautiful.
