Pours a translucent copper gold and I coaxed a one finger creamy yellow head. The nose was spicy, hoppy, resinous fresh hops, citrus peel, pungent. The flavor had more bitterness than I would have liked, warm, spicy hops, resinous, very hoppy, citrus rind.

Bottle from total wine. Orange pour, medium sized head. Aroma pounds you with some crazy resinous hops. Malt profile is pretty nice...but this one has the smell of turpentine. Flavor is too harsh and bitter for my likes. don’t get me wrong, this is a well done beer, but it is just over the top a bit for me.

Not something that wallops you with great hop taste or gets you good and drunk like other double IPA’s but this is a nice and affordable hoppy option for these dark financial times. Hints of grapefruit and more than a hint of pine. The malt backbone is a little big and sweet. This is still a solid enjoyable beer good for watching some sports and not thinking too heavy.

I picked up a reasonably priced sixer of this at the Binny’s in Orland park, IL. I figured, being a hop-head, how could I go wrong? Not bad. It pours a clear golden amber body with a respectable head and a modest amount of lace. The aroma is strong on the PNW hops - lots of grapefruit, pine, and zest - and is well supported by a caramelly sweetness. The flavor, while reflective of the nose, is mayhaps a bit too balanced for a DIPA. Still, it delivers a prolonged and bitter finish. Tasty.

12oz bottle shared by robert at stateline. Nice orange color, decent head. Nice sweet bitter taste, soft on the palate which makes me think they might bottle condition their beers but probably not. It had a nice hop bite to it but it was still well balanced. Overall a good DIPA that is worth trying. Thanks again Robert!
