Can. Pours a clear orange with medium frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is floral, citrus, pine. Medium mouth, light fruity hop, caramel, light bitterness, very good.

16oz can pours with a clear copper body that has thick gold edges and supports a decent light tan head. The aroma offers up some fruity esters, some grapefruit and stale pineapple with a bit of vague hop bitterness. The taste delivers a blend of apricot and citrus candy flowing into vague thin resiny bitterness. It holds onto an out of place estery fruitiness right into the finish that clashes with the hops.

Sample at the Bistro’s DIPA-festival 2015. Orange/amber with a white head. Fresh and hoppy with grapefruit, grass, some sweetness and fruit. The finish was bitter and quite dry.

Can. I am pretty sure that I have this somewhere in my backlog, but I got a can recently so I might as well live rate it. Pours with a deeper golden, almost orange hued body with a large, foamy, just off-white head. Aromas are of citrusy, floral, pine, bugspray, lemony with a light malt character. Flavors are of alcohol (strong), medium citrus, pine, resin, pinesol, lemon. Dry finish. Quite warming for 9%, medium bodied, fuller carbonation.

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours translucent golden amber with a slight beige head. Aroma of citrus and lightly roasted malt. Full bodied. Flavor is very citrus, rather dank, but a bit "mucky". Some hop burn, very light caramel background. There clearly was not stinting on ingredients, but I think the hop choice doesn’t work as well for me as some DIPAs. On the other hand there’s a lot of flavor, and it continues well into the future!
