Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: copper color with a two finger white foamy head which trailed off to leave some light messy lace
Aroma: grapefruit, floral and herbal hop tones, light caramel/toffee malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fair bittersweet to bitter quality; finishes malty and semi-dry with a touch of floral and mixed citrusy tones
Texture: medium bodied, leaning into being a sipper; light smoothness
Overall: nice old school DIPA I could revisit sometime.

Few cans at home. Murky orange pour and few finger of head. Nose is sweet citrus. Tastes of orange, grapefruit, herbal, floral, koolaide, malt. Sweet finish. Some booze.

Pours hazy gold into a shaker. White head with little retention recedes to hug rim. Overripe tropical fruit aromas. Hot with caramel and mango upfront turning to passion fruit and pineapple before the lasting warm pit finish.

16 oz. fresh can. Hazy orange type color. Aroma and flavor or an exact mirror. Mild floral up front with a pine and mild spruce finish. Bitterness is lasting with some bready malts. Classic DIPA.

Taster pour at the brewery. Appearance is clear, yellow-light brown with fair sparkle, a thin white head and nice leggy lace. Aroma is herbal, tropical fruit, grapefruit. Taste is light herb, tropical fruit and grapefruit. Palate is light bodied with smooth, thin texture, soft carbonation and dry bittersweet finish but not too bitter. Overall, some interesting complexity that largely works.

Draught at the brewery, 7/30/17.
Moderately hazy, peachy-golden with a white head showing low retention.
Little bit of cat and sweat up front, with papaya and pine joining in. Nice juiciness as it warms, breaths, develops. No alcohol and only a bit of sharp ester at points. Malts seem quite sumptuous behind it, though it's got a big sourdough-like character as all the sweaty, over-boiled hops mix with the bready-sweet malts.
Soft, malty, dry with juicy pineapple, strong papaya and moderate breadiness. Good level of low but engaging carbonation. Very bitter, again, though with the increased malt it works better despite still demonstrating overly boiled hops. Lingering pineapple and honey. If they diverted about 80% of the hops they're using in the boil, in to the whirlpool, they'd be putting out some top-notch stuff.

Sample at the Granite State Brewers Festival. Hazy light golden color with a thin off white head. Pine and citrus with bits of caramel bread and light alcohol. Little sweet for my tastes but tasty.
