Strong resin hop aroma. Also floral hop. Maybe some light citrus hop. Lots of hop. Hazy orange gold color with a white head that laced strangely. Medium to full body with caramel malt and lots of different hop. It is definitely malty, and it is surely well balanced. I can feel evergreen in my throat. The malt tends to slip away and the hop turns rather piney. Incredibly awesome.

Bottle at Toms Ultimate Glasgow Tasting: Poured a copper amber color with a bubbly head. The aroma was that of pine and hops. The taste was very lively and the hops made me want more. I was super impressed with this IIPA!

22 oz. bottle from Zinister, shared with tjthresh. Pour is hazy blood orange with a one inch slightly off white head. Aroma of grapefruit rind and some candy citrus (those little orange slice candies). Taste is BIG grapefruit juice. Just a blast of grapefruit hop that is bitter all the way from start to finish. The sweetness also exists in the taste, though it is more like ripe oranges here, not really candy sweetness. The aftertaste is long, and again, really reminiscent of grapefruit juice. Overall an interesting one to try, but a bit one dimensional for me. Thanks for sending this one Mike!

Pours from the bomber a translucent brownish orange body with a clumpy off white head that left sedimentary rings as the glass emptied. Smells fruity, floral, piney - very balanced aroma that is inviting and not intimidating. Flavor is well balanced too, malty, sugary, piney, lemony, grapefruit, spice even a touch of biscuit. Goes down smooth, lasting bitterness, but nothing overwhelming. The mix of hops produces a great balance between aroma and flavor. A very drinkable and loveable IPA.

Pours bright gold into a Shaker. Fluffy off-white head leaves sheet lacing as it slowly recedes. Sharp tropical fruit (guava, passionfruit, and tangerine) and pine aromas. Bitter caramel upfront with a lasting grapefruit finish. Took on an unfavorable armpit flavor as it warmed.

Rating #900. Bottle from dirty_martini - Thanks! Pours a dark brown, near black with a small tan head. Nose is rich and full of roastiness, vanilla, and seemingly that bourbon sweetness from a barrel aged brew... Smooth and creamy on the palate with flavors of cocoa, coffee, roast, and moderate sweetness into bitters. Nice level of complexity and very pleasant to drink.

From bottle, blind tasting at Papsoes - beer no 37. Pours hazy orange with a diminished white head. Aroma is sharp grapefruity and with a solid sweet maltbase. Flavour is heavy bitter with a lovely fruity hops and a liqourice sharpness cutting off the brew before the finish. Sharp bitter finish. Great.8-3-8-4-17=4.0
From tap at the brewery. Pours cloudy and golden orange with a lacing white head. Mild grapefruity and peachy aroma. Smoth and quite inviting. Dense hoppy flavour with a light fruity touch and a mild bitterness. Nicely balanced with a solid caramel malt presence and a light fruity lingering finish.8-4-8-4-16=4.0

From bottle, blind tasting at Papsoes - beer no 10. Pours black with a red hue and a lacing light brown head. Vanilla and chocolate aroma. Flavour holds a decent liqourice flavour to the smooth chocolate and mild vanilla. Finish has a persisting chocolate smoothness. No bitterness from hops, perhaps some from the roasted coffee notes.
