look: 4.25 | smell: 4.75 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.25

a: pale orange with a nice amount of hop haze. almost looks like some yeast haze too. 3 finger solid white head. looks real nice

s: juicy grapefruit and pine right away. solid sweet malt, pineapple, mango, passionfruit. the hops smell really juicy and smooth - i'm detecting not bitterness in the aroma. this one makes your mouth water

t: the initial sip is a little bit of a let down from the aroma. i taste mostly pine and grapefruit in this one. maybe a hint of mango. theres some sweet malt too, but it isn't the dominant flavor. this ends with a grassy/earthy/dank bitterness that is quite smooth and not really in your face.

m: this is a solid medium. carbonation is there, but not huge

o: the reason i was a little let down from the flavor was because the aroma had much juicier tropical fruit than the taste. i'm also a fan of that so its all subjective. this is not a bad beer though, its got a lot of solid full flavors (as you usually find in DIPAs) and it is well balanced. most people can enjoy this.

look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4

A- Vigorous pour of hazy pale copper gives way to a 1 finger white head. Sticky lacing and decent retention. Free flowing carbonation bubbles. My only complaint is that it is pale in comparison to most DIPAs.

S- Nice hop profile on the nose of citrus (ruby grapefruit), some pine and floral notes as well. Mango and peaches. Candy coated pale malt base.

T- Huge citrus leads the way. Rush of it comes at you with gusto. Faint touch of a spicy, pale malt backbone calms the hops just for a brief moment before the hop bitterness takes hold of the finish. Outstanding start, but the lack of malt leaves allows the finish to be a little harsh.

M- Full body. Wet over the palate before finishing dry. Warmth of the alcohol sets in nicely. Wonderful carbonation

O- Another well done brew by a fantastic brewery. Tons of hops as the pale malt takes a backseat causing this beer to taste more like an IPA than a DIPA imo. Nitpicking though...solid brew that i would drink again.
