Sampled on draft at Tapped this beer poured a dark golden color with a huge creamy yellow white head that lingered forever and left exceptional lacing. The aroma was earthy, off and musty. The flavor was off, medicinal and earthy with citrus and an almost rancid note. Medium length finish. Medium body.

Got in a BIF from oline73. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Pours slightly hazy golden orange color with a 2 finger dense and rocky off white head with incredible retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Dense soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, papaya, lemon/orange peel, light pine, honey, bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of juicy citrus/tropical hops, lemon/oranges, and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, papaya, lemon/orange peel, light pine, honey, bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine/herbal/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, papaya, lemon/orange peel, light pine, honey, bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of juicy citrus/tropical hops, lemon/oranges, and moderate pale malt sweetness; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying flavors after the finish. Light dryness from bitterness, increasing through the glass. Light-medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/sticky, and slightly slick/syrupy/resinous balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is fairly well hidden with a small warmth lingering after the finish. Overall this is a very nice fruited double IPA. All around nice juicy citrus/tropical hops, lemon/oranges, and moderate pale malt sweetness; very smooth and easy to sip on for the ABV. Quite sweet as expected with the lactose, but has just enough bitterness to balanced it out and taste like pure hop juice. A very enjoyable offering.
