On tap at the brewery. Appearance is cloudy, dark yellow with no discernible sparkle, thin ring of off-white head. Aroma is a nice dominant orange citrus over tropical fruit. Taste is very similar to aroma but but more tropical fruit than orange citrus. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, average carbonation, mainly sweet finish with a little bit of bitter. Overall, good balance between sweet and bitter and nice, strong aromas and flavors. Not ground breaking or earth shattering but quite good, solid DIPA.

On tap at Bissell Brothers, pours an opaque cloudy murky yellow with a small white head. Aroma is quite yeasty, with earthy hops, lots of tropical pithy notes, and biscuity malt. Flavour is very yeasty and pithy, with dank, bitter, grapefruit hops, lots of stone fruity pith, and biscuity malt. Pithy and grapefruity on the finish. Ultimately, too yeasty - I disagree with the consensus here.

16oz can, shared with DCLawyer, thanks Jason! This can of Nothing Gold was 3 days old. Poured a hazy, golden orange color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was dank, juicy notes. Flavor was zesty orange notes, lots of citrus peel. Touch of alcohol comes through on this one.

Tasting @ Tim's. Pours hazy orange, bit of foam, good lacings. Nose is fruity, great balance, juicy and dank. Amazing. Taste is juicy but also has good bitterness, totally dank, full of lupulus dust, biting. Very sparky beer, balance really working well. Finishes with fruity bitterness, good stuff.

Very turbid, golden amber color. Slightly sweet, superb juicy nose with fresh squeezed orange juice, gummy bears, oat so amazing nose. Super smooth mouth, the malt and hops are perfectly integrated. Tons of grapefruit juice and gummy bears lingering the finish. Amazing

4 oz. draft at York River Landing. Aroma is bold with mango, pineapples, grassy, hints of marijuana, and light pine. Yep, they pulled it off again, another insane imperial IPA.

Grapefruit juice hint, mixed with Cantaloupe, pulp, very light citrus acid. Malt is here bit subdued over the hops. Lightly juicy. The Alcohol is a little bit hidden but here. I enjoy 4 oz. of it. Have no old idea what I would feel about it after 16 ounces. As is 4.0.

Mother Kelly's. Keg. Very hazy gold - amber beer, good cream colour head. Palate is smooth and a little dry, good fine carbonation. Light dry sweet malts. Big hop spice. Pine. Tangy orange into good mango and well integrated spicy lemon. Smooth savoury finish leaves a spicy linger. Comes together very well.
