12 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Pours fairly hazy medium orange/amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly 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 grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, honey, caramel, lightly toasted bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Touch of booze in aromas as it warmed, a bit too malty/muddy. Nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity hops and dark/bready malt notes; with good strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, honey, caramel, lightly toasted bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/zest, floral, grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, honey, caramel, lightly toasted bread, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity hops and dark/bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, and fairly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 10.7%. Overall this is a very nice DIPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity hops and dark/bready malt flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Aromas had me thinking this was going to be really sweet, but it wasn't. Lighter bodied than I expected for the ABV. Balanced juicy hops and dark/bready malts, with mild lingering sweetness. Definitely classic C's + Amarillo hops. A very enjoyable offering.

Sampled on draft at Whistle & Keg this beer poured an orange-caramel color with a medium sized creamy orange-tan head. The aroma was orange, grapefruit and pine. The flavor was tangy and sweetish orange, grapefruit, pine, pepper and tobacco. Moderate bitterness. Medium length finish. Medium body.

On tap at magic tree, nice place. Pale yellow. Smells like mild bo, perhaps the good kind, like after good sex. Big strong on style beefy impact. Mouth coating, soapy pungent astringent development. Leaves you with that on target bitter IPA thing inthe end. Yes, thicker and viskosy

Sample at Daily Growler UA. Clear pale orange color with a thin white head that dissipates quickly to a wispy film. Top ring of lacing with spots underneath. Aroma of citrus, hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of herbal hops, pine and malt. The finish is on the thin side for the style with a short fruity hops aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.
