Pint can pours with a crystal clear dee gold body that supports a nice white head of foam. The aroma offers up peach, pineapple and berry notes flowing into a pine sap like hoppiness. The taste delivers a blend of peach and vague berry fruitiness blending with bitter pine hops and a thin wedge of base malt sweetness. Around the periphery of the experience are thin sweet soft notes of pineapple and maybe mango. This ends with too little hop bitterness providing a firm footing for a modestly oversweet finish. Pretty solid had it ended a bit dryer.

On tap at CHoP. Aroma is moderately malt forward with nice cracker malt and lighter caramel notes. Moderate hop notes of grapefruit, pine, tropical citrus and hints of stone fruit. Medium light alcohol notes. Pours a clear, brilliant copper-gold color with a small, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers. Flavor is somewhat sweet with medium light cracker malt notes and hints of light caramel. Fairly bitter with medium light alcohol notes. Medium light grapefruit and pine resin notes. Lighter tropical citrus and hints of stone fruit. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and medium low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent TIPA but one that could benefit from a bit more hop character. A bit too malt forward and lacking hop flavor and aroma. I was expecting a much danker experience.

Can purchased at Ale Arsenal to glass. Clear golden-copper with white head that fades to a cap over the top. Resinous and tropical aroma. Flavor show dank, citrus and rind. Moderate high bitterness works well with the alcohol. The alcohol is certainly present, but is we balanced with everything in this great beer.

Ok, this is awesome. It pours bright yellowish, amberish orange color. Fairly pale for a DIPA of this strength. Quite cloudy. Medium-small white head. Quite good retention/lacing, which is a bit surprising since this is a big beer poured from a growler. The aroma is simply wonderful. It smells like a tropical fruit salad. Huge, juicy, sweet hoppiness. Very big on pineapple juice, sweet citrus, candied lemon rinds, tangerines, mango, papaya, grapes, strawberry jam, sweet pine. It’s just bursting with hops. Little malt character, just some simple pale malt, I guess. Fairly dank, though I’d call it more tropical than dank. No booziness, which is an all too common affliction among >10% abv DIPAs. Taste is similarly great, maybe even better. It’s like a mouthful of candied tropical fruit hops. Bitterness is light. Fairly sweet, but it’s all hop flavor. Moderate bitterness in the finish. Normally, I’d want a bit more of a bite in the finish to clean things up, but this beer is so rich with hop flavor that it’s not necessary. Mild alcohol - considering it’s >10% abv, it’s impressively subdued. Mouthfeel is light but oily with hop flavor. Ridiculously easy to drink for a beer of this strength. I’m having to force myself to go slowly through the liter. This is the best new DIPA that I’ve had in a long time.

Draught @ Cellarmaker, San Francisco, CA
Pours clear orange with a small white head. Aroma of fresh piney hops, resin, citrus, floral notes, grass and caramely malts. Taste is massively hoppy and chewy with loads of grass, citrus, floral notes, juicy fruitness and caramely malts. Finish is a bit stuffy with loads of hops, caramel, stingy bitterness and sweetness. Feels a bit unbalanced, but still quite tasty.

Sample at the taproom. Clear orange-bronze color with a medium off-white head that dissipates quickly to a film. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops, pine and malt. Full-bodied and somewhat syrupy with flavors of resiny hops, tropical fruit and grainy malt. The finish is resiny and yes dank hops and grainy malt. Above average overall.
