Tall can from Brewcraft at home. Mostly clear golden yellow pour with white fluffy head. Aroma is classic west coast DIPA, Stone-y with intense pine and grapefruit rind. Taste follows with bracing bitter bite, dank pine and some citrus pith. Solid malt balances and provides some sweetness throughout. Palate is a bit heavy but not slick. Some slight sawdust flavor in the middle oddly. Alcohol and astringency give it a real punch on the finish, a little too sharp maybe. Delicious nonetheless. Huge piney DIPA - give it a try if you’re a fan of classic Stone beers or others like it.
