On tap at the brewery. Pours out a orangish gold topped with a white head. Nose is dank hops pine some light tropical notes along with a bread malt. Taste is more of the pine tropical hop combo and a sweet malt.

Sampled at the brewery, 7/6/15
Orange in color with an off-white head. Has a nice tropical/pine aroma with some underlying caramel. The taste follows suit, with a good light sweet balance to the pronounced hop flavors. I preferred the IPA here to the DIPA.

On tap at Two Brothers tavern.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy burnt orange color with a bar pour’s kind of slim white head that dissipated immediately.
The smell started off with a burst of sweet cherries followed by some sweet apples, light apricots, and then a light citrus to gently run into a smooth caramel.
The taste was mainly sweet and barely carried any bitterness about it. A lingering semi-sweet aftertaste leads to a quick wet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonation felt pretty good as an AIPA and it brings about decent bitterness to hit the tongue.
Overall, I say this was interesting, as it had a sweet nose and taste but carried the typical palate of an AIPA. Not sure what to think other than I’d probably have again. Mainly by itself.

Draught at the brewery on 2/7/14
Medium amber-tinted yellow body sports a white head, moderate lacing, high clarity and good retention.
Pine and grapefruit are sweetened by a touch of caramel maltiness, but they easily win out, keeping things very fresh and hoppy with a medium to medium-high strength of aroma. Quite lemony as well, with a a bracing kick of acids, especially as it warms.
Very dry, well attenuated base malts provide decent body, as the caramel malts just provide a bready texture that dosent quite mesh with the heavy hop assault. It’s not syrupy pine and hot resin but it’s very citric and quite bitter. Never a fan of crystal malt in heavily hopped American IPAs. AKA, I don’t like East coast IPAs. Not that this one is full-on east coast, being very very hop oriented, but it’s just a little unbalanced for me. No sign of the alcohol, as with the rest of their beers. The fermentation and yeast used at this place is great. Just a touch of earthy yeast character in their beers and no alcohol or other off-flavors in any of the beers I had. Furthermore, the beers are all fermented very fully and quite dry, but still have ample body to them. Excited to go back.
