Can, from Whole Foods, Manhattan. Pours clear golden with a foamy off-white head, citrus-malt aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter citrus peel taste with alcohol undertones, lightly caramelized malt taste, thin smooth body, long finish with some throat burn at the end. Deceptively smooth.

12 oz. can. Pours an unclear, orange color, with an average, foamy, off-white head. The nose is spruce, cloves, grapefruit peel, caramel, and perfume. Sweet and phenolic, with a fair, rough bitterness. Medium body, slick, and oddly hot. Not great, but reasonable.

Aromas are slightly old resin hops with citrus rind and malt. Flavors are similar to nose, add in a bit of MJ and a bit more sweet than bitter with carbonation a bit soft. Body is a touch chewy. Decent but not great.

Not a bad example of the gas station stovepipe DIPA; a bit harsh in texture thanks to the massive ABV, but not cloyingly sweet. Orange marmalade, papaya and mango juice with notes of peach and berry, slight bit of pine on the finish with no serious bitterness.

Can. Cloudy orange golden color with medium white head. Aroma of oranges, tangerines, peach, light zest. Taste is sweet, moderate fruity hops, citrus, some berries, touch of zest. Alcohol is well hidden. Could be more hoppy bitter, otherwise good beer.
