On draught during the Citra release on 02/01/2013. The beer pours black with a medium foamy tan head that diminishes slowly. Patchy lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malt and bourbon. Full-bodied with flavors of burnt malt, bourbon and dark chocolate. The finish is boozy with a lingering oaky bourbon aftertaste. Good beer overall.

Aroma is all fruity hops. Lots of bright citrus but with a well balanced tropical fruit and peach note. There is no malt aroma or alcohol in the nose. Just bright, clean hops. This beer isn’t pretty. It’s not at Heady Topper levels but it is very cloudy - you can tell through the bottle. Pours orange with a big white head that has nice retention and good lacing. A slight, sweet malt note up front but then the flavor is all hops just like the aroma. Lots of fruit in the hop profile - citrus, tropical fruit and peach. A touch of a melon character a well. Nice clean but assertive bitterness. Dry, bitter finish with a hint of alcohol spice. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, approaching medium light. Medium carbonation with very low astringency, just a bit of hop astringency. Medium low alcohol warmth. Overall this is a really nice, bright, fruity DIPA. Clean alcohol and malt notes that don’t distract from the hops. I don’t know that this is really worth the lengths people go through though. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle - Thanks IrishBoy! Pours a slightly hazy butterscotch amber with a medium off-white head that dissipates slowly with nice lacing. Aroma is mango, citrus, pine. Flavor is about the same, nicely tropical with mango and passionfruit notes. Light sweetness and light bitterness, Creamy, almost oily mouthfeel. Crisp light to medium bitter finish that leaves you wanting more. This is a good one.
