16 ounce prowler into tulip glass, filled on 8/30/2019. Pours fairly hazy deep golden amber/light orange color with a 1 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lasts.

Aromas of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, honeydew melon, berries, citrus peel/zest, wood, peppercorn, pine, honey, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, light caramel, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness.

Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, fairly sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 8.7%. Overall this an awesome DIPA. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and dark/bready malt flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to drink for the big ABV, with the mellowly bitter/resinous/drying finish; awesome soft feel. Awesome Simcoe, Amarillo profile. Very juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a nice sized malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness.

7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Draft at Drafting Table. Pours a hazy orange gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Big orange creamsicle on the nose with some orange zest aromas as it warms. Creamy on the palate and yet somehow still manages to have spritzy carbonation. Orange cream & zest on the finish. I like this one a lot with the lactose not being over the top.
