Pours a slightly hazy dark amber from a can, good lacing. Man this smells good. Awesome citrus aroma, good flavor, a little bitter. Very good beer.

Pours clear amber into a shaker. Off-white head with excellent retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Resin and malt aromas. Medium bodied with hot caramel and resin front to back. Lasting pith finish. Nice

Tap into a tumbler showing moderately filtered dark brown with half a finger of clean white foam. The nose shows pine resin and tea like malts. The palate is light bodied and well carbonated. Flavors of sweet pine resin throughout. Mild maltiness appears on the mid-palate. Moderate bitterness on the finish.

Keg at The Farmhouse, Burlington. Hazy amber, small head. Distinct aroma of pears, grapefruit and papaya. Mid sweet with medium-full body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Syrup and caramel cuts through the thick hop curtain. Almost metallic bitterish finish. Hops are there, but it is otherwise edgy and basic.

Can: Poured a hazy orange with white head. Aroma is tropical fruit hops. Taste is juicy hop bomb that never stops, but eases up just enough in the finish.

Can shared at Mechazilla event. Pours a cloudy, golden tangerine with a finger of creamy foam. Big, dank resiny nose with lemon, sudachi and green pineapple. Well-balanced on the palate. Body feels uber light and dangerously drinkable. Dry finish with light pepper and zest. One of the better DIPA’s I have had.

Big lime grapefruit and oranges in the nose. Dirty cloudy and lovely as hell. Smooth biscuity mouth with lots of lime and grapefruit and biscuity. So well balanced. A bit boozy in the finish which distracts a but otherwise such a great beer.
