This is another really pleasant DIPA that I have tried recently. Too bad so many are not available on the East Coast.

Thanks Pepsican for the beer I supplied! Smells of many fruits. Citrus, melon, etc... Taste of large mango, grapefruit. Top 5 IIPA’s

22 oz bomber. Poured a hazy pale amber with a thin white head. It became clearer as it warmed. This had a lovely sweet, citrus smell that let you know one thing - hops! The taste and mouthfeel hit hard when you first take a mouthful. Wow, this is hoppy! Has to be the hoppiest brew I’ve ever encountered. Mouthfeel is medium and creamy, but an overflow of tingling bitterness powers through the senses. As it warms, the sweetness is more apparent and it becomes more pleasant and appealing. Don’t try and rush this. Give it time. Experience it from the beginning hop overload to the sweet orange citrus lusciousness at the end of the bottle that has you wanting another.

Orange-golden, most of all like liquid amber - it’s very beautiful! The head is huge, nice and creamy. The aroma has nicely hopped notes of papaya, mango, apricot, spruce and citrus. The flavour is smooth with a pleasant mouthfeel and a nice hop bite. The notes are the same as in the flavour, but I also fin light caramel sweetness. It’s a nice DIPA, thank you Daniel/TheCheeseMan!

650ml. bottle. Pours out in a hazy pale amber with a rich creamy and lasting white foam. Enormous hop aroma of lychee, pine-needles and blood-grape. Medium to full-bodied with notes of pine-needles, oranges, grass, grapefruit and watermelon. Long bitter finish of grapefruit and grass. Simplistic but tasty.

Flaske. Masser af frugt og citrus i duften. Denne går igen i smagen som er dejlig afbalanceret. Bitterheden er der også men ikke overvældende. Rigtig god øl.

Bottle, bought @ Vinens Verden, Odense.
Pours light hazy pale amber with a small creamy white head. Nice look, actually. Absolutely stunning aroma! Very fruity, very hoppy. Peach, grapefruit, oranges, apples and pine. Nice carbonation and very dry mouthfeel. Flavour is good as well, a biscuity backbone to the diluge of hops. The fruitiness prevails in the taste. Really nice IIPA.

Heavy hoppy aroma. Average, frothy, white head. Fair lacing. Mostly diminishing longevity. Clear yellow body. Heavy bitter flavor. Medium palate.
