Draught at Mystic Station, 7/9/16.
Moderately to lightly hazy, peachy-golden body is topped with a staunch white head.
Tons of pineapple, tangy and lightly sourish, with toasted malt (or is that just the twangy, sourish hops?) and lots of cracker-biscuit character. A fair amount of pine/grapefruit character, including the resinous part of it. Peach, orange rind and more citrus continue the assault, though the alcohol is well-concealed and the beer is clean otherwise.
Soggy, stewed, highly bitter hops throw off massive amounts of tangy, sour pineapple, tangerine, white grapefruit, peach and pine. Malts are mostly well-attenuated but the body is big and dextrinous, contributing to the palate fatigue. Engaging carbonation, but it’s not enough to make it drinkable in the face of all this resin/acidity. Very difficult to drink more than a few sips. Not sure why I keep having this experience with their DIPAs but this is the exact same problem I had with Dimorphic, though no one else seems to note it. Odd.

Growler filled a few hours ago at the brewery. Pours a brilliantly clear light golden with a frothy rocky bone white head that slowly recedes. Dripping with tropical fruits as soon as I pop the growler open. Citrus and pine as well as some light sweet bready maltiness play supporting roles. Juicy pine resinous dank with bits of grapefruit and light sweet bread. smooth but firm bitterness. Fuck that is a great beer!

Draft at the brewery. Bright unclear yellow, full head retention. The nose has a pleasant note of grapefruit, strong notes of pine and citrus hops.
Mostly well-balanced and still very hoppy. Grain bill is enough for balance yet; bitterness lingers with a huge Amarillo character. Nice citrus and pine balance. Not tasting any alcohol anywhere which make this SUPER easy to drink. Another nicely executed Imperial IPA but… you have to like Amarillo hops. Since I do this is a winner.
