A full light tan head on a dense copper/orange body. Nose features citrus hops, alcohol and malt. This is a nice mix of hops and biscuity malt. The hops morph through a wide range of tastes, including citrus, citrus rind, floral, and a heavier earthier hops finish. The honey and sweet malts balance off the hops well. The medium to thick body and 10.1% abv make this DIPA a real east-coast style meal.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is strong resinous hop with pine resin, grapefruit, malt, caramel, touch of toffee, orange, marmalade. Flavour is fairly sweet with a long bittersweet finish and some alcohol. Body is medium to full. Highly resinous and piney with caramel malt, ripe-ish fruits, bit boozy. On its way to being a hoppy Barley Wine, rough around the edges but I really like this resin bomb.

Erg moutig, gekonfijt fruit, en wel lekker bitter. Meer een american strong ale of bijna een barley wine
Citrusschil, bitter, leunt tegen barleywine.

Bottle from Brewdog Online Shop. Pours a lovely clear copper with a thin off-white head. Heady resin and pine aromas. Taste is rich, bitter, orange peel, resin and wood. Slightly sticky, faint honey. Cleans up nicely though.
