Lightly hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and fairly dry. Decent fine carbonation. Soft malts, smooth and mildly creamy. Mellow orangey hops, mild hop spice. Traces of peel and lemon. Soft floral finish that generates modest bitterness. A mellow but tasty DIPA.

Pours a cloudy golden-yellow, with almost no head. Aroma has some floral elements, but a huge nose of butterscotch. Flavor is a bit soapy, some butterscotch, some citrus, peach, and pine/spruce-hop bitterness. This is really very interesting and quite good.

12 ounce bottle. Bright Amber color. Dense rocky beige head. Fragrant malt nose is subdued. Labor is sweet and tangy, with noticeable alcohol upfront. Bitter hops are rather subdued for an IIPA. Bittersweet and syrupy in middle. Dryish peppery bitter hops in finish.

Bot. Very slight sweet perfumy volatile aroma. Good head. Looks like old style lager malt likkah. Taste is impressive high alky bitter hoppy blast. Did anybody say dish soap, pine tar and chewing on alky soaked green grapefruit rinds? Probably very difficult to chug, heheh. Seems like more alky than it is. Difficult strong armed stuff. Sometimes I just don’t get these labels. Not as thick or viscous as many IIPA but its walking proudly in that territory.Warming sensations down my throat and into my gullet. This has got to be a different beer than the fruity pebbles Linus had!

12 oz bottle poured into a Spiegelau tulip. Clear golden orange with a finger of off-white head. Aromas of hop oils, alcohol, grapefruit citrus, floral notes, some pine, malt. Tastes of grapefruit citrus, floral notes, pine, candied fruit, malt, a little soap. Medium body with a dry finish. Not my favorite from this series.
