Orange gold, clear, small white head, sticky. Lots of caramel malt, pineapple tangerine hops, no booze surprisingly, floral. Quite sweet, good hop flavor but it’s a bit dominated by all of that malt sugar, finishes sweet and malty, pleasant malt flavor but it’s just not how I like my DIPAs. Slick, heavy feel, no booze but a lot of sugar.

Pours slightly hazy amber with small off-white head. Clear aroma of fruit, citrus and hops. Bitter, hoppy flavour, with round, fruity notes and touches of malt and grass. Lingering, bitter and rough aftertaste. Nice.

Pours a hazy dark orange appearance with a very thin tan head. Kind of oxidized / cardboard, caramel / bready malty, dull herbal hoppy nose with a bit of citrus. Kind of chewy and bready flavor. Tangerine and citrus fruit flavor. Some booze on the finish. A bit goopy. Eh.
