Bomber to tulip, the appearance was a hazy burnt semi-dark orange color with a fingers worth of white foamy head that fell off at a decent pace. Mild stringy lace.
The aroma had sweet to bitter citrusy hops, light mango sweetness, a touch of grass, bright tangerine pulp and a light dose of caramel/toffee malts.
The flavor copied the aroma pretty much spot on - sweet to bitter with an underlying malt base. Aftertaste was the same sweet to bitter hops to malts. Finish was quick and somewhat with the citrusy sweet hops.
The palate was medium bodied with a good sipping quality about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt as projected.
Overall, pretty good DIPA that I could come back to.

Little hazy orange to amber beer, creamy irregular off-white head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: pretty sweet, bit soapy, fruity, passion fruit. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: bitter, citrus, bit malty, honey, hoppy, very fruity. Aftertaste: hops, sweet malts, honey, tropical fruits, pretty bitter, dry and rather grassy finish.

Light amber color. Big citra nose, with decent malt. Full body big hop character. Big bitterness. Tangerine and weed just linger in the finish. Amazing end that just goes for ever with lots of bitterness.
