A - Amber hued and slightly hazy with a 1-finger head that disappeared quickly, leaving behind very good lacing
S - Very subdued hop profile with a heavy caramel malt nose
T - Much too sweet up front, with almost no initial bitterness or hop flavor. However, the bitterness does catch your palate upon finish
M - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation
O - This is definitely not comparable to your typical American DIPA. A very mellow hop profile was overpowered by the sweet maltiness of this brew. It wasn't unenjoyable by any means, but if you're looking for a very hop-forward DIPA, this isn't going to cut it for you.

Tasted more like a flat barleywine than an IPA. Way too sweet to be this flat. A real disappointment, especially since I paid a lot for a bottle of this at the local craft beer store. Now that I see it is retired I wonder how long that bottle was laying around before I bought it.
