12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 7/26/2017. Pours moderately hazy/cloudy deep orange/amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of huge grapefruit, tangerine, peach, pineapple, mango, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper, pine, toasted biscuit, light caramel, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/pine hops and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge grapefruit, tangerine, peach, pineapple, mango, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper, pine, toasted biscuit, light caramel, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, peach, pineapple, mango, lemon/orange peel, pepper, pine, toasted biscuit, light caramel, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/pine hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky, and slightly resinous balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 6%. Overall this is an awesome IPA! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/pine hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink the with mellowly bitter/drying finish. Very juicy, vibrant, and lightly dank hops; with a nice balancing malt backbone that is never sweet. Very similar to the regular; but less bitter, more juicy/vibrant on hops, and smoother to drink. A really enjoyable offering.
