Draft pour from a growler to my tulip-snifter. Great, fresh juicy citrus aroma. Perfect copper-orange color with an almost white head. The initial taste suggested it may be a hoppy and bitter bomb, but that was just the beer saying "hello" to my palate. Well-balanced from start to finish. Surprisingly smooth for an IIPA with the hops and bitterness it offered--not to mention the high ABV. I’ll need another growler, please.

12 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but is a recent release. Pours hazy deep orange/amber color with a 2 finger dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big tangerine, pineapple, orange juice, mango, peach, papaya, lemon zest, orange peel, honey, light caramel, toasted bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and compelxity of juicy citrus/tropical hops and moderate pale malt sweetness; with great strength. Taste of huge tangerine, pineapple, orange juice, mango, peach, papaya, lemon zest, orange peel, honey, light caramel, toasted bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate citrus peel/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of tangerine, pineapple, orange juice, mango, peach, papaya, lemon/orange peel, honey, toasted bread, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of juicy citrus/tropical hops and moderate pale malt sweetness; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Light dryness from bitterness, that increases through the glass. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, moderately sticky/resinous, and creamy/bready balanced mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is an outstanding DIPA! All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of juicy citrus/tropical hops and moderate pale malt sweetness; very smooth and easy to drink for the big ABV. A highly enjoyable offering.

Can. Pours a fairly clear orange with a thin head and very tropical aromas. Lots of papaya and orange. Flavor has a punch of oranges and honey that is followed up by a resinous end... Mouthfeel is kind of silky/kind of sticky and thick for the style. Very yummy.
