“This is a full-bodied American style double IPA brewed with five styles of malts and four different hops. This deep copper colored ale will be served unfiltered to maximize flavor and also dry hopped during the secondary fermentation to ensure a gracious hop aroma. Cheers from us to you and may you enjoy it with friends.

Shared 330 ml bottle. Orange colour, moderate white head. Nice aroma of fruity / citrussy and spicy hops. Very hoppy and quite bitter flavour, but somehow well balanced. Good beer.

12 oz. bottle, sent from wilco (thanks a lot, Mike), pours a deep dark orangey amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out earthy notes, with feet, vegetal notes and resinous hops. Flavour tastes better than it smells, with loads of resinous hops, earthy notes, skunky feety notes, and light bready malt. Well-balanced, without too much sweetness or bitterness. Very good stuff.

This was poured into a tulip glass.
The appearance was a hazy burnt orange color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about thirty seconds. Clingy lacing places itself in a messy fashion around the glass.
The smell starts off with a sharp citrus bitter to semi-sweet caramel backup. Slightly resinous.
The taste was moderately bitter with a fair sweetness around it. The aftertaste was quick dry resin leading into a semi-dry tobacco finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a fairly decent sipping to sessionable quality about it. The carbonation seemed to be good to the style as the bitterness covers the harshness part on my tongue.
Overall, it’s a dry DIPA with a tobacco edge to the taste. I don’t mind it. Probably have again.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 11/11/2014. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy golden orange color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, mango, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, floral, grass, light honey, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good complexity and balance of bright citrus/tropical hops and light-moderate pale malt notes; with good strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, mango, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, floral, grass, light honey, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Good amount of pine/citrus rind bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, mango, lemon/orange peel, pine, light honey, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Damn nice complexity and balance of bright citrus/tropical hops and light-moderate pale malt sweetness; with a good malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, crisp, and sticky mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a damn nice DIPA style. All around great complexity and balance of bright citrus/tropical/piney hops and light-moderate pale malt flavors; and very smooth and crisp to sip on for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.

Hoppy enough, for an easy coast DIPA. Orange golden color with nice foamy head. Pure hop aroma, piney, resinous, more of the same in the taste. Short finish, but overall pretty good.

Bottle, 9%. Caramelly aroma. Clear copper colour. Big stable creamy white head. The flavour starts off quite peppery, but also malty and sweet. It has a high, clean bitterness and a nice caramelly malt flavour with a hint of pine.

At a tasting, thanks Stas., small stable bubbly head, aroma of dark bread and nuts with some jam in the back, jammy flavour with a strong shrubby herbal bitterness and some bready maltiness in the back,. Boring.

Keg at Jake’s Place. Clear golden body with a thin white head that quickly fades. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of honey, pine needles and orange. Flavour is intensely bitter - notes of biscuit, orange, caramel and fresh hops. Medium body with a chewy mouthfeel. Lively fizz. A decent DIPA with lingering hop bitterness.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Beer Market Jaffa. Thanks Stas & Vova. Clear golden. Weak aroma with malt, a bit of caramel, stale hops and a bit of alcohol. Sweetish flavor with malt, a bit of caramel, stale hops and a bitter finish. Medium-bodied.
