This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a glossysemi-burnt yellow to orange color with a slim finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated pretty quickly. Rings of lacing rim the sides of the glass.
The smell takes in citrus bitter to sweet hops bursting into a dried piney hoppiness. Light sweet onion dankiness balances in nicely.
The taste was basically the same with the dried resinous piney flow of hops really crowding the flavor nicely. It just really comes together well. Dry resinous aftertaste. Light smooth citrus to piney finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sipping to sessionable quality about it. Carbonation felt pretty good for the style and for me.
Overall, hot damn, Mayflower, you guys did a great job on this beer.

Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from One Stop Market. Aroma is strong citrus, fruit, pine, resin. Appearance is hazy yellow with no sparkle, ephemeral white head that fades to ring with trace lacing. Taste is citrus, pine, moderate bitterness with some fruity sweetness and a bit of corn chip at the end. Palate is medium bodied with sticky texture and lively carbonation and dry, slightly bitter finish and warmth down the esophagus. Overall, completely as advertised on the label. It could have used a little more malt balance but it’s very good.

Pours a hazy straw from a bottle. Aroma is a strong danky pot, some resin and also mango. Flavor is a nice hoppiness similar to the nose, good bitterness on the end, very slight alcohol burn . Very good beer.

12 oz. bottle from the Beer Store. With a neck stamp of 1/ 26/ 2014. Gold color with a very small amount of sediment. Aroma is just great, citrus fruit, floral hints and a light amount of pine, but mostly bursting citrus.
The backbone of the brew has light grain but the overall flavor is all about the hop profile. Citrus, grass and a mildly lingering pine hiding underneath all the juicy fruit hops. Nice effervescent feel over the palate. Bright and juicy fruits. Snap!! This is my kind of DIPA.

Pours clear gold into a shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to hug rim. Tropical fruit and resin aromas. Thick with bitter resin and toffee upfront turning to a sticky tropical caramel finish.
