Bottle from LIvonia Liquor. Pours a clear pale straw gold with a fingrer of white foam that dissipates. Warming alcohol on the nose followed by citrus zest and resin aromas. Clean and dry on the palate with nice orange and grapefruit zest notes. A bit of pith and pine on the finish. Warming alcohol.

22 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 11/26/2017. Pours slightly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, white bread, light honey, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity hops and moderate pale malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, white bread, light honey, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus zest, floral, grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, white bread, light honey, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and fairly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Mild warmth of 8.7% after the finish. Overall this is a delicious DIPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity hops and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV, with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Really great juicy citrus hop complexity; nice pale malt backing, with minimal residual sweetness. Feels like a classic Centennial, Cascade, Amarillo profile. Well attenuated and not overly sweet from the rice. A very enjoyable offering.
