“Without sway, there can be no balance.” Our Double IPA gracefully boasts grapefruit rind, pineapple and honeysuckle notes with a hint of earthy forest floor. Behold the wonder!

Can: Poured a bright orangey color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrusy notes with some residual sugar and nice floral hoppy notes. Taste is a nice mix of fruity notes with some citrusy hops and nice floral undertones with quite a bit of residual sugar notes. Body is full with nice carbonation. Nice hoppy profile with loads of flavours and very faint bitterness. There is quite a bit of residuals sugar notes and this si getting close to the limit of being overly sweet.

Can. It pours a mostly clear orange/gold color with an off white head. The aroma has dried apricots, sweet grapefruit and light hop spice. Very fruity with some light twinges of honey. The flavor is lightly spicy with big fruity apricot, grapefruit and orange notes. A little honeyed malt. Medium bodied and a little oily with medium floral bitterness. I heard from a few sources that this was being billed as Heady Topper clone. To be honest, it may be a tick above that. Very good stuff. Top notch. Among the best I tried among 100+ on my east coast trip.

Bottle share on 7/30/16, can thanks to Jeremy. Big, juicy IIPA, mildly hazy golden pour with a small white head. Nice citrusy hoppy aroma follows through to taste, which also allows the caramel malts to come into play. The citrus offers it a light taste and feel that belies the 9% ABV. Nice.

Sampled in draft at Tapped this beer poured a dark golden color with a large foamy yellow-white head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was sweet pine, cactus, papaya and pepper. The flavor was sweet and bitter with cactus, strong perfume, tropical fruit and sugar. Long perfume and cactus finish. Full bodied.
