Keg at Blackback. Pours hazy gold with a creamy, white head. The nose has lots of dank hops, light onion, grapefruit. Medium sweet flavour with low bitterness, high dank quotient, rindy bitterness, melon, ple bread. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Resinous and citrusy to finish, more melon, tangerine, peach. Great beer.

This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a hazy burnt orange color with a slim little white head. Stringy lacing sticks and then slides into the beer.
The aroma starts off with sweet danky onion with a nice balance of the juicy sweet citrus. Bittersweet pine blends in underneath.
The taste takes the previously mentioned flavors to blend very nicely. A dry bitter piney to juicy citrus leads into the aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionable quality about it. Carbonation runs fairly light allowing the bitterness of the hops be the bulk of the the harshness on the feel with a nice oily to semi-slick coating on my tongue.
Overall, I say this was a fabulous DIPA that I would definitely have again.

Bottle: Poured a hazy bright yellow color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some light lacing notes. Aroma of floral citrusy hops with light dank notes is pretty enticing. Taste is also dominated by dank hops notes with some citrusy flavours and a dry aftertaste. Body is pretty full with good carbonation. Nice mix of dry hops but sometime too many varieties end up shadowing each other which is what may have happened here.

Tasting at Ferris’; bottled 02/18/2015
Hazy blond color, paler than all your usual IIPAs. The aroma has a very light animal character, musky, forest, pot; very nice. Light mouthfeel, fairly dry for the style, skunky, resiny, with delicate fruity touch.
Original, excellent.

22 oz. bottle, sent from Glouglouburp (thanks a lot, Dany), pours a clear yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma is pretty dank, with dank herbal hops and a touch of malt sweetness. Flavour follows suit, with loads of dank resinous hops, loads of pine, and just enough biscuity malt. Wonderfully hoppy and dry, very dank from what I assume are citra hops. Excellent stuff.

Bottle - Lots of grass and lemon with bright grapefruit. Cloudy light gold with a decent white head. Fleshy grapefruit, sweet orange, and a nice light finish. Well balanced and very easy drinking, hard to believe it is a double IPA.

Pours bright clear gold into a tulip. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving sheet lacing to coat surface. Tropical fruit aromas. Sharp with sweet bread, caramel and passionfruit upfront turning to warming papaya before the lasting, bitter earth finish.
