UPDATED: APR 20, 2024 Bottle (of course). Bottling date 02/29/2024. I can find no fault with this beer. I loved it in every way. As I see it, it is the reference standard by which all other DIPA's are judged, or should be judged by. There are certain beers that are the best basis for comparison--SNPA for Pale Ales, Dupont for the saisons, Speedway for coffee stout, Schlenkerla for rauchbier and Pliny for DIPA. Go ahead, argue with me.

UPDATED: FEB 17, 2024 Bottle. Pours clear golden with white head. Citrus, pine, resin, caramel. Smooth and perhaps the best balanced beer I have ever tasted. Sweet and bitter, so good. Great!

Super lasting bitterness. Very nice.

UPDATED: JAN 6, 2024 510ml bottle from Bill's Liquor Market, Los Angeles. Golden colour, white foam head and aroma of tropical fruits, mango, citrus hops.

UPDATED: DEC 31, 2023 From bottle (pkd 27Oct) into shaker. Pours clear gold w/solid inch of white froth that left walls of lace, piney citrus hop aroma over honey & caramel malt. Taste is beautifully balanced, subtle at first but an infusion of resinous bitterness builds through the finish. Thanks Barry!

UPDATED: DEC 13, 2023 [Cantillon, Bruxelles] Aroma: Fresh hops, honey dew, pine, slight soap and pineapple Appearance: Clear golden yellow with a small everlasting white head Taste: Mildly sweet and moderately-heavily bitter, huge pomelo, pine, and grassy Mouthfeel: Mouthfeel is smooth with watery texture and moderate carbonation Overall: Definitely overrated, but it's still a solid West Coast 😎 Huge thanks to Matthew for the bottle ✌️

UPDATED: DEC 12, 2023 510ml bottle (from Gourmet Haus Staud Redwood City), enjoyed at the Grand Bay Hotel San Francisco on 06-Dec-2023. Bottled on 29-Sep-2023. Slightly hazy pale ale with a medium-sized white head. Aroma of malt, citrus and pine. Medium body and carbonation. Taste of sweet malt, grapefruit, orangepeel and hops. Light bitterness.

UPDATED: JUL 27, 2023 this beer pours a clear golden color with a small white head that dissipates quickly. This is one good beer. Nicely balanced malt and hop flavor. Sweet malt and bitter hop, but not overly so. Taste is citrus, more towards lemon and tangerine. One good IIPA.

UPDATED: JUL 15, 2023 17.25 ounce bottle at the house in Stow, Ohio. Bought in Golden, Colorado. Smell the citrus. Pale yellow in color with white foamy head. Taste the citrus. Light pine. Extremely balanced. Light and citrus aftertaste. Just one really good beer. Cheers!
