On draft at Sugar Maple. Pours amber-orange with bright white, two-finger head that fades to a film. Aroma of pineapple, pine, some floral notes. I could sit and smell this for quite some time. Flavor is sweet and stick upfront and very resinous. There is a small amount of citrus and also a little malt in the background. Finishes fairly dry with a considerable dose of hop bitterness and alcoholic. More alcoholic tasting than I remember, but still one of the best overall DIPAs around.

Can’t believe I haven’t rated this yet, so here goes. Pours a nice amber orange with thick white head. Very pleasant citrus hop aroma, pine, grass, and a decent balance of malts. Flavor is not what I was expecting, but in a good way. A lot of DIPAs have a similar flavor, this one does not. This is a readily available (for me), very solid DIPA that is a change from the norm. Awesome job DFH.

On Cask... golden amber color, great citrus and hop aroma... I have had it in a bottle and on tap but on Cask was the best by far... very smooth hop flavor well balanced with citrus and sweets...

Poured amber from the bottle with a small head. Strong hoppy aroma. Sweet citrus taste, with moderate, but not extreme, bitterness.

12 oz bottle served in a clear pint glass. I am not an IPA fan, but this was an excellent beer. The nose is hops and citrus. The taste was similar, but the hops were toned down a bit from the 60 minute IPA to make this beer pretty enjoyable.
