beautiful yellow/amber pour with a HUGE sticky frothy white head. Aroma of grassy hops, with some big notes of citrus, and grapefruit. Flavor is very nice, some great hops in here, lovely citrus, and some really nice malt, this is one of the most balanced DIPA i’ve had, very very nice. But not as big and bitter as i was expecting. I found their west coast IPA to be hoppier.

Nice citrus aroma mixed in with some nice yeasty notes, with a good dose of hops. FLavor is much the same, big notes of belgian yeast, citrus, and some american hops. Interesting take on the style, but not my favorite.

Aged a good few years. Billowing head on the pour. The spices are still alive and kicking, but they are quite burnt. Some bitter cocoa, scorched earth, hint of mint. Dry, ashy and bitter to finish. Novel but not really a big-time winner.

Aroma of malt, caramel, citrus, fruits, resin, hops. Flavour is light sweet with a medium bitter finish. Very dry. Wish I could have tasted a fresher sample, but even aged it was damn fine, even though it has probably lost its hoppy edge.

Bottle at home. Aroma is sweetish passion fruit, light tart fruit, wheat, raspberry, tropical. Flavour is light sweet and slightly tart. I wish it were a lot more tart. Body is medium. Nice big passion fruit aroma, but the flavour is not fully to my liking.
