Cask at GBBF 2019. Clementine aroma. Amber. No head. Bitter core with a dose of sweetness. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Astringent finish. Just doesn't do much for me.

Appearance- cloudy golden, lots of bubbles rising, a pillowy 2-3 finger cream head. Gets soupy when the sediment comes out. Aroma- pineapple, citrus fruit, hops, trace of wheaty malt. Taste- bitter hops, pineapple, peach, juicy fruit, cereal malt underneath. Juicy hoppy finish, a bit of clingy bitterness.

Can via BrewDog. It pours cloudy dirty gold with a foamy white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, bready malts, ripe stone fruits, juicy peach, apricot, persimmon, melon and sponge cake. The taste is dry, bitter- sweet, green, wet grass, sponge cake, pithy citrus, peppery spice, ripe apricot, peach and persimmon. Finish is dry with a nip of alcohol. Medium body and fine carbonation. I would maybe prefer it less sweet, but its not bad overall.

Can at home. Unclear ugly murky pale yellow color, medium sized white head. Aroma is malts, hops, a bit resinous but also a bit sweaty initially. Flavor is malts, hops, grassy a bit, again a bit sweaty, citrussy also. Hmm in the end I'm disappointed because the sweaty notes dominate. Bleh. Another crappy exemple of a Double NEIPA. Not my thing. 5-1-5-3-7.

Can pour into nonic pint glass. Appearance is deeply hazy orange with lots of fine particulates in suspension, trace sparkle, 1/2-finger width cap of foamy off-white head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is citrus, fruit and bready malt backbone. Taste is citrus, piney astringency, bready/caramel malt and light harsh alcohol. Palate is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thick texture, mild pleasant alcohol warmth, soft carbonation and mostly malty finish with some bitter pine. Overall, this lives up to its billing as a California-style DIPA with the basic features you'd expect, though likely not quite in all its glory as this was old (born 12/18). Still, some complexity remains and nice features of alcohol (warmth) outweighs some harshness.

Can at home. A bit hazy orange color, medium sized quickly diminishing white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, hops, sweetish hops, yet also some hop burn. Dec body and med carbo. Ok but not my kind of DIPA. Great label / sticker on the can though btw. 7-3-7-3-14.
