Stolen from the fridge of a friend after leaving a house party in Grand Rapids, MI; enjoyed at home on a Friday night before celebrating my wife’s birthday. This stuff is great, glad I stole one of these! Appearance is amber with a thin white head that laces to the glass. Aroma is mostly grassy hops, has a great profile. Taste is equal parts grassy and bitter, flavorful, tastes like a really good IPA.

bottle - Pours hazy dark orange with a small off-white head. It has an assertive aroma of citrus, resin, and some alcohol. The flavor is strongly bitter with citrus and resin and a backbone of malt sweetness. It’s full bodied with some alcohol presence mostly in the background. Very good.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 2/28/2015. Pours slightly hazy orange/amber color with a 2 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, mango, peach, lemon zest, orange peel, light pine, herbal, floral, grass, caramel, toasted bread, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/tropical hops and moderate dark malt notes; with good strength. Taste of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, mango, peach, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, herbal, floral, grass, caramel, toasted bread, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Good amount of pine/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, mango, peach, pineapple, lemon/orange zest, pine, caramel, toasted bread, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice complexity and balance of citrus/tropical hops and moderate dark malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, crisp, and sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with only a light warming present after the finish. Overall this is a damn nice DIPA. All around great complexity and balance of bright citrus/tropical hops and moderate dark malt flavors; and very smooth and crisp to sip on for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.
