Hazy orange pour, slight head. Full hoppy aroma. Grapefruit hop profile which is incredible Fresh and bitter, slight alcohol at the finish. Wonderfully Bitter, One of the best DIPAs Ive had the pleasure of quaffing.

Holy shit hops. Great smell. The taste is a bit biting. But it’s great. The color is fantasically deep.

12 oz. Pours a hazy orange-amber with a lasting disc of bubbles. Aroma of grapefruit, orange, pineapple, light caramel and catspray. Flavor is grapefruit, pineapple, peppery green herb, resin and alcohol. Light-medium body is dry with hops and alcohol, and sorta smooth. Nice lacing. Simple and straightforward hops, but hey that’s what was intended.

Bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. Pours a nice looking clear deep gold, off-white head. Aroma is terrific, very fruity, some pine, malt, floral,very nice. Flavor malty, faint sweetness, obvious hop flavor with a nice, very hoppy bitter. Mouthfeel is medium body, high carbonation. Overall, a very well made IPA...Good Shit!

Yum. Pours clean and pure, obviously filtered, lovely golden color. Amazing aromas of grahm cracker, citrus, lite malt, lite pine. Full flavored without being heavy. You just cant tell that its 10% ABV, its smooth and balanced. Well done.

Bottle poured orange / golden in color with a very thin white head. Very strong hoppy brewed masterfully with honey. Glass just kept building in flavor. And a nice piney finish. Great beer!!

golden in color with a short lived head. Naturally the hops are pronounced, but the blend with the malts and balance make this such a great beer, The sharpness of the hops is made oh so smooth. Not hard to see why this gets such high ratings.
