Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a ruddy burnt pink (when held up to the light) almost bronzed golden/semi-brown and somewhat muddy looking without the light. Finger’s worth of head, but that quickly dissipates and there’s no lacing.
The aroma starts off with sweet danky onion and florally subjugates the dankiness as it warms to blend nicely.
The flavor yields to a floral bitterness from cold to warmth. There is some of the sweet hibiscus portion flowing in and out, but it’s quite subtle.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation feels good and there allowing the floral qualities to not be overbearing but end up coming across fairly dry.
Overall, everything seems to be there as BBC says it is and I dig for what it is.

16oz Can, split two ways in a newcastle style glass. fridge temp. looks like watered down orange juice. small white head. smells like spicy mangos. yeah, very spicy. clementines, tangerine, sugar and rye and spicy peppery. a light orange peel finish. mouthfeel is bland, it’s actually really intense for the flavor.

Sample glass at the brewery.
The appearance was a semi-hazy muddy golden orange color. No head (bar pour) and yields a light messy lacing.
The aroma had a strong balance of a pure bittersweet honey to juicy citrus bitter rind. Pine is there - quite subtle. Low lying malts.
The flavor yields to a superb balance between the bitter and the sweet of the hops to the malts. Totally enthralling aftertaste between the bitter and the sweet. Quick finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Low lying carbonation. Ample bitterness for the harshness on my tongue.
Overall, probably my top favorite DIPA to date by this brewery. Absolutely stellar on all accounts. Looking forward to seeing cans of this in the near future.

The appearance was a fluffy burnt orange to brown color with a quickly dissipating head. No lacing.
The aroma embraces the normal Tripel qualities of: Belgian spice and sugars, bready sweet yeastiness, and then some subtle sweet blueberries for balance.
The flavor yields to the Belgian sweet yeasty side. Blueberries seem to fade in the background nicely. Slightly a rugged yeasty aftertaste with a smooth sweet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation feels good. Gets somewhat sticky in the feel.
Overall, another nice beer by Burlington. These guys seem to be just getting better every day, tho, the aftertaste in this one may be a bit different more or less.

Sample glass, 1/2 pint at the brewery.
The appearance was a ruddy burnt golden yellow. Sly transparency. No head (but a bar pour, so I get it).
The aroma had some great piney tones playing nicely with some bitter to sweet citrus. Low amount of malts.
The flavor leans to the bitter side with a creamy sweetness sliding in for a fair balance. Sweet and semi-earthy tones flavor up the aftertaste with some sweet wheaty tones in the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. ABV seems fairly well hidden for a DIPA.
Overall, crushable DIPA that I would have again.
