Taster pour on draft at crazy bash. Cloudy yellow with thin head and light lacing. Aroma is citrus. Taste is combination citrus and pineapple rind. Smooth texture soft carbonation finishes taste..

Very hazy orange and even bronze coloured body with a large, four centimetre tall off-white and tan head that stays afloat nicely. Aroma of oranges, grass, hay, flowers and some relatively pungent yeast with some alcohol noticeable in the nose, too. Medium to Full-bodied; Fairly resinous flavours up front with oranges and grapefruit here, as well as big malt notes and again, some of the alcohol here is noticeable and fairly astringent. Aftertaste shows some drying notes with flowers, grassy and hay very noticeable, but the orange, citrus, resin and sweet flavours finish this off nicely, with a big robust quality that feels of Imperial Status. Overall, a nice, resinous, robust and flavourful real-ish Imperial IPA that has a nice complexity that is somehow relatively sweet and still bitter. Nice to sample this from Connecticut and I'll be trying to find others from this brewery in the near future when I'm back in Connecticut. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from GlenRo Spirit Shoppe in Monroe, Connecticut on 19-December-2021 for US$3,49 with the tagline 'double the pleasure' and '95/95' on the bottom of the can, sampled at my house here in Washington on 12-May-2022.

Got in a trade with brutalfarce. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Pours very hazy deep golden amber/light orange color with a 1 finger dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. No warming alcohol for 8.4%. Overall this is an excellent DIPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV with the mellowly bitter/resinous/drying finish, not overly aggressive. Awesome Citra, Mosaic, Idaho 7 profile. Very juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hop complexity; with a nice balancing bready wheat/oat/malt malt backbone. Mild residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. Very well attenuated for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering, and impressive style example.
