12oz bottle-pours a retaining off white head and hazy amber color with particles. Aroma is citrus hops-sweet, secondary medium malt-molasses. Taste is citrus hops-sweet, secondary medium malt-molasses. Somewhat syrupy mouth feel, alcohol. Mild carbonation. Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing.

Bottle purchased from 99 Bottles in Santa Cruz. Poured into a pint glass. On the pale end of the DIPA color spectrum, with a gorgeous fluffy white head. Modest lacing but excellent retention. Aroma is grapefruit-dominated and somewhat sweet. Flavor has a mild crystal malt basis that gets trampled by citrus hops. Pleasant even bitterness through the finish. Lacking in flavorful maltiness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and nicely carbonated. Pretty drinkable.

Ridiculously hoppy but pleasantly flowery. Numbers among the most boldly flavored double IPAs I’ve ever had. Remarkably smooth mouthfeel for a brew this bitter.

Bottle. Cloudy copper pour with a white head. Aroma is mild caramel with a floral hop scent, not very strong. Flavor has a nice floral bitterness, leaves a nice dry hop taste in the mouth. Pretty good overall.

Murky, meduim amber with a resiliant head. impressive aroma of citrus, juniper, hops, and some malt. Well balanced between the strong hop profile with the malty undertones. great with a slice of pizza. too much as it was 12 dollars a six pack.

Cloudy, light copper with almost no head. Strongy hoppy aroma of pine, flowers, apricot/citrus. Not as bitter as it smells, but extremely well balanced hoppy citrus bite with a smooth/tasty malt palate. Some cloudy yeast sediment at the bottom. Definitely a heckuva beer worth another go.

Draft - Copper colored body with a nice white head. Huge pine and citrus nose. This is a very malty IPA with an unexpected amount of spice and pepper flavor.

Bottle. Pours a copper amber pour with a thin off white head. Aroma is earth hops pine, floral, grass. Bitter till the end with little etoh in the finish. decent.
