Light amber color. White head with quick dissipating head. Big sweet malty nose with lots of tangerines which works well with the sweet maltiness. The mouth is very big with lots of maltiness, but alcohol is relatively well hidden. Stone fruits. Well integrated, but probably could be better with slightly less alcohol. Big tangerine and citrus finish. Yummy stuff.

22oz bottle thanks to Adam. Pours out a orangeish golden topped with a white head. Nose is tropical fruit citrus hops and a nice caramel sweetness. Taste is tons of hops 3x from a normal ipa. More of the tropical fruit citrus big grapefruit pithy bitterness and heavy malt bill. I liked this one.

65 cl bottle @ tiong. Bottled(?) 09.02.?
Aroma has strong citras notes with caramel and citrus. Also some sweet malty tones and caramel.Flavour has very strong boozy tones, fruits, caramel and hoppy tones, Burning alcohol too. Not sure what to think of this, but booze comes through too much anyway. Also too much glue here at the second glass.

650ml bottle from Whole Foods Bowery, New York @ Varjopikkujoulut
Bottled 09/02/14 - Pours clear orange with a small white head. Aroma of booze, floral hops, caramely malts, toffee and citrus. Taste is pure hoppiness with some booze, floral notes, caramel, toffee, citrus, pine, resin and fruits. Finish is floral, herbal and slightly malty with loads of lingering bitterness and hoppiness. Long lasting hoppy burps. Heavy and extreme stuff.

Kicking back on a gorgeous fall afternoon, and this is the perfect beer for it. Big and bold in all categories, rich and powerful. Tasty, smooth with a kick. Pleasant alcohol burn from start to finish. Re-rated 7/10/17, knocked down a few ticks as I have much more exposure to the style since my first rating. Still a damn good beer.

22 oz. bottle, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out loads of resinous hops, tropical fruits and caramel malt. Flavour is a huge barrage of hops on the palate but it is exceptionally well-balanced - loads of tropical fruits, resinous hops and pine, balanced with sweet caramel malts. This sure is hoppy but it has a fantastic malt backing. Fantastic stuff, as with all Knee Deep hop assaults.

Bottle [from trade with dap] @ home. Nice clear lightly orange mostly golden color, medium to full sized lightly creamy off-white head that lasts for quite a while. Aroma is malts, hops, resin, pine. Just what I was hoping for and what I am looking for in a DIPA. Taste malts, loads of sticky resinous hops, pine, spruce, bitterness and a touch of grapefruit. Very very much of the sticky resinous piney bitterness indeed. Lingering hoppy resinous piney bitter. Medium to full body, medium carbonation, sticky texture. Oh yes, a full on incredibly tasty imperial IPA. Love it!

22oz bomber pours with a crystal clear deep gold body that has copper hues and supports a weak light tan head. The aroma offers up big resiny sticky smelling notes filled in by plenty of hop sweet citrusy and pine aromas and booze. The hops are largely pine like and bitter citrus trudging along in a pond of thick sticky maltiness. The taste is smooth and slick and sweet and resiny and syrupy sticky resiny hoppy stickiness, wow! There’s big bold pine and tangelo and pineapple and alcohol. Goodness. This is a sipper. It starts with modest citrus hop flavor and thick malts and then runs directly into booze, citrus hop and pine hop resiny bitterness and then sticky sweet malts. Git all messed up drinkin’ a 22 of this.

22 oz bottle dated 07/16/14. Time to give Knee Deep another shot. Aroma is definitely dominated by hops with a touch of cracker malt and faint caramel in the background. Lots of citrus and stone fruit with some really nice tropical fruit notes. Grapefruit, orange, mango, peach, pineapple and melon are all present. Some light pine resin notes to balance all the fruit. Pours a slightly hazy, golden orange with a small, fairly thick, slightly off white head that shows decent retention as it recedes to the edges. Low lacing and medium low legs. Flavor has a light sweetness with a moderate cracker and biscuit note and faint caramel. Finish has some alcohol spice and is rather noticeable on such a dry, hoppy beer but that’s to be expected in a triple IPA. High, fairly clean bitterness. Hop flavors are not as fruity as in the aroma with more pine and hop resin. Yeast profile seems fairly clean. Still lots of citrus and stone fruit notes from the hops but the tropical fruit and melon is a bit less noticeable. Lingering alcohol, cracker, pine resin and citrus. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a rather dry finish and moderate carbonation. Low astringency and moderate alcohol warmth. Overall, a pretty nice triple IPA from Knee Deep and my favorite beer from them so far. The malt character is much more subdued with only a light stickiness. Lots of hop character and the alcohol seems fairly clean, though there is possibly a touch of fusel. I do t usually crave a triple IPA, but if I were, this would be one of the first ones I reached for.
