This was poured into a tulip glass.
The appearance was a hazy burnt orange color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than 30 seconds. A light lacing started to stick and then slide.
The smell had a combined sweet citrus hops and a caramel maltiness running into a light piney background.
The taste was mainly sweet through the malts balanced by a sweeter citrus hoppiness. A fairly light caramel to citrus after leads to a dry sweet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonated nicely as a DIPA, decent harshness pounds nicely against my tongue.
Overall, I say this was a nice DIPA that I would have again.

If you like IPA, get this, this is their strongest offering to date. Forget my numbers if you like hoppy beers, I do not. Yes, most bitter beer drank here tonight. Big nasty messs of bitter mouth ful. Rude and nasty, what else can be said. Fresh fer sure, I think I ruined my taste buds, cannot taste my food. Roto tilling beer experience.

From tap. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is solid fruity and hoppy. Dry and bitter. Solid fruity and slight sweet. Bitter and lingering fruity. Dry finish.
