Bottle: Clear copper color and a large finger of creamy beige head. Lots of sticking lacing throughout the glass. Nose is ripe with citrus and tropical fruit, some pine. More pine comes through in the taste, lightly floral, and more of the citrus/tropical fruit. Good emphasis on and use of the hop flavors. Nicely done.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a snifter.
The appearance was a hazy amber to brown color with a half finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than a minute. There was some light stringy lacing glossing along the sides of the glass.
The smell had some light sweet citrus hops backed up by a decent sweet sticky caramel malt.
The taste followed the aroma.
On the palate, this one came through pretty sticky around my tongue. I say this sat about a medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was somewhat sharp but still constrained enough to be a good beer.
Overall, I say this was a decent DIPA I could have again though probably not necessarily one I would seek out again.

Sample at The Bistro DIPA-Festival, February 8. A bit hazy orange with a white head. Aroma and taste of hops, citrus, some biscuits and fruit. The finish was dry and bitter. A good one.

Draft - Tropical fruit and sweet malts. Cloudy orange with a thin head. Orange pith bitterness and sweet malts. Actual pleasant hop flavour is missing.

22 ounce bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours moderately hazy orange amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of big orange zest, lemon zest, grapefruit, tangerine, peach, pear, caramel, floral, pine, grass, honey, bread, toast, and floral earthiness. Nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus hops and caramel/bready malt notes; with good strength. Taste of orange zest, grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, peach, floral, pine, grass, light caramel, bread, toast, light honey, and floral earthiness. Fair amount of earthy pine bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of citrus, citrus zest, peach, floral, grass, pine, light caramel, bread, light honey, and floral earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice balance and complexity of citrus/floral hops with a moderate caramel/bready malt balance; and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a slick, fairly creamy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is well hidden with only a slight warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a very good imperial IPA. Very nice balance and complexity of citrus hops with moderate caramel/bready malt balance; and very smooth to sip on for the gravity. A very enjoyable offering.
