12 oz. can, pours a mostly clear golden orange with a medium beige head. Aroma has big chewy caramel malt upfront, with sticky resinous hops further back — quite malty. Flavour is both bitter and malty — seeming more balanced than the nose did — with bitter resinous hops, some bitter pine, and a thick yet dry bready caramel malt base. Truckloads of bitter resinous hops on the finish. Maybe not the most refined west coast IIPA, but I'm digging it.

Can from Downtown Liquor in Salem, OR. Pours clear gold with a decent white head. Aroma is lots of citrus, including some grapefruit and a bit of pine. Med body. There's a lot of malt, but grapefruit zest and pine keep it down. A tad juicy. A tad undry. But a lot of bitterness. Good drink.

12 oz can poured, from Kroger. Clean penny copper appearance, loose foam head. Really nice citrus and floral hop combo here. Aroma is well balanced with pine, grapefruit, and caramel malts. Flavor bites like an imperial, but isn't overly aggressive. Soft tropical and citrus fruit notes round our an otherwise piney bitterness. Constant caramel malt background. Flavorful and delicious double IPA. Love to see that you can still find high quality, non hazy double IPAs in 6 packs for 10-12 bucks. One of the better ones in my locals current grocery aisle lineup. Very good.

Stovepipe can from HomeBrewStuff. Golden pour, light cloudiness, small foamy head. Aroma is sweet malts, caramel, just as of hops. Taste is sweet, toffee, light astringency from the hops. Malty DIPA.

Can from Community Food Co-op, Bellingham; 8.7% ABV; packaged in February but with a marker's line on the year, hence it's less than 2 months old, or more than 1 year old
Dark blond colour, slightly hazy. The aroma seems light. The body is there, with some residual sweetness; flavour of biscuity malt, caramel, pleasant; bold bitterness, some hop resins, but leading to some pith in the finish, that gets more and more aggressive. Bold.
It's an ok beer.
