Can. Thanks to Leighton. It pours hazy golden orange with a minimal white head. The nose is fresh, soft, orange, tangerine, candy, icing sugar and sherbet. The taste is bitter-sweet, earthy, grapefruit, orange peel, tangerine, soap, pine needles and light alcohol with a bitter citric finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Rather drinkable stuff. Very nice.

Can shared in London - picked in a trade. Pours clear, shiny gold with a fine, creamy off-white head. Good snout, some rich citrus, grapefruit, orange and melon, light pine, pale bread. Medium sweet flavor, some ripening citrus, tropical fruits, moderate bitter pine and grass, papaya. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Nicely resinous to finish, more ripe fruits of the citrus and tropical variety, a bit of alcohol warmth, more papaya, orange, some rind. Great stuff. Fairly punchy without losing control. Well done.

Thanks to ThirstyBird for sharing this! Very smooth and floral in the nose. The beer starts smooth, floral and aroma full - but nearly exact like the "Jack's Abby Mass Rising." A bit strange and sad. The aftertaste is quite minty, floral and moderate bitter! Nice but nothing special!

Tap @Fiddlehead. Pours hazy golden with a medium off-white creamy head that dissipates with good lacing. Aroma is light overall, quite floral, citrus, mango notes as well. Flavor is medium sweet, light bitter, a bit dank, not harsh. Medium body, Pretty darn good. Rerate from a can, this is a wonderful DIPA. No harshness and a beautiful tropical dank fruitiness. Color has gotten more orange, but sweetness has if anything gone down a bit

Draft at Prohibition Pig for our New England Gathering. Orange amber color with light head retention. Aroma is very herbal with light hints of pine resin.
Flavor shows a good balance of malt and hops. The herbal hops take over the sweet bread and pine notes. Thicker body with an almost chewy texture. I really enjoyed this brew. I would drink this again, very nice DIPA.
