Mostly clear, fairly deep copper and bronze coloured body with a slight haze at the top, all underneath a pretty thick three to four centimetre tall, microfoamed head that stays afloat for a long time. Aroma of grass, hay, flowers, biscuits, light yeast and bread with a hint of alpha acids and bitterness, but this smells much more like a saison than anything else. Light to Medium-bodied; Very crisp and grassy, dry malts come first, with a soft lemon and citrus profile, with a kick of yeast and some dough towards the end, with a big grassy and perfumey hop kick at the finish, but no real bitterness here. Aftertaste is still very dry with mainly the malts, bread and yeast punching through, with all of the alcohol and hop bitterness hidden completely and while there was no sweetness here at all, this ends with a very simplistic, dry profile. Overall, a dry, subdued and soft IPA that really tastes like an 'IPL', since this is devoid of complexity and range. Decent at best, even sampled fresh, which is sad, because the other beer that I had from the brewery was GREAT! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Siciliano's Market in Grand Rapids, Michigan on 03-August-2021 for US$3,99, canned on 17-June-2021 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 14-October-2021.

Hazy orange pour with a lingering head. It has a very fruity aroma with citrus and tropical fruit and hops. The flavor has lots of fruity hops character but the heavy malt backbone makes the bitterness not terribly strong/ Juicy, fruity sweetness. Quite good though not great.

hazy dark golden to orange colour, medium sized creamy yellowish off-white head; aroma of intensive (tropical) fruitiness with mango, tangerine, grapefruit, maybe some peach, too, caramel and pine resiny notes, as well as hints of floral honey; bittersweet taste with sweet, overripe fruits (tangerine, mango), grapefruit and some spicy alcohol in the aftertaste; great IIPA! If its taste would provide as perfect experience as the aroma, then it would be a first class, world-champion masterpiece

Can. Light haze on this gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, mildly dry. Decent fine carbonation. Light malts, medium sweet. Mild hop skunk and hop spice. Fresh orange and light floralness. Ripe orange before the light and spicy finish. Pretty light and a little recessed. But fine.

12 fl oz can from Saveur Biere. Hazy orange-gold amber colour with a white foam head leaving lacing. Aroma of tropical fruit and citrus, hoppy. Taste is malt caramel, sweetish with lots of fruity mango, floral citrus, pine, hop resins and earthy bitterness. Oily mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry tangy bitter finish. Very drinkable.

Burk från kylskåpet sandgärdsgan. Svag doft av tallbarr å ja engelsk ale. Lätt till medelfyllig i munnen. Ja tunn Dipa med svaga inslag av barr, päron, lite blött gräs. Detta är en mesig tunn lite söt mjuk Dipa utan fel. Inget kul alls en Stone 2.0 liksom andra Dipa på 8% alkohol är flera divisioner bättre. Besvikelse
