0.65l bottle. Very hazy orange body with a lasting creamy white head. Aroma of light toffee, biscuits, pine, hop resin, orange jam and some grapefruit. Taste of caramel, toast, pine, hop resin, grapefruit and a touch of burnt sugar. The resiny hop bitterness lasts for quite a while. The alcohol is definitely there but not disturbing, only provides a gentle warming effect. Big bodied with a creamy/oily texture. Great one. Perfect to finish off a tough day in the office.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 9/24/2019. Pours fairly hazy deep golden amber/light orange color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, lime, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, honey, cracker, toasted biscuit, light caramel/nuttiness, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, honey, and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, lime, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, honey, cracker, toasted biscuit, light caramel/nuttiness, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, lime, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, honey, cracker, toasted biscuit, light caramel/nuttiness, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, honey, and bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Fairly crisp finishing. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium-plus carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, and sticky/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Mild increasing warmth of 9.5% After the finish. Overall this is a fantastic DIPA. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, honey, and bready malt flavors; dangerously smooth and easy to drink for the big ABV, with the moderately bitter/resinous/drying finish; not overly aggressive. Amazing Simcoe, Citra, Galaxy and Mosaic profile. Extremely vibrant, juicy, dank, and earthy hops; with a nice sized honey and bready malt backbone. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp resin dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and outstanding style example. Loved the hop profile as expected.

Can from Beer Republic @ Benzai is uitgepierd tasting, 10 cl sample. Almost clear golden color, short frothy head. A bit sweet, medium bitterness. Some pine and grapefruit. Aroma could have had a bit more power, but taste lives up to the reputation. Good brew. --- Beer merged from original tick of Emerald Grouper on 22 Jul 2017 at 23:22 - Score: 8.

Bottle @ Benzai is zo dood als een pier tasting. Hazy orange color, medium sized white to off-white head. Smell and taste malts, hops, there could be some honey in it, bit I don’t specifically get it, hoppy bitter. In the end though, the aroma is better than the flavor I’d say. Still good, but not awesome.
