Poured from the twist off 12oz bottle into a nearly sam adams glass, some other crystal beer tasting goblet.

Appearance- Beer pours yellow and lightly hazy in the bottom of the glass, more orange and hazy towards the goblet portion. A soft half finger of white head rises and falls but lacing retains on the sides of the glass forming a perfect smiley face with horns, a coincidence, but very neat looking.

Smell- The scent on this is phenomenal, orangey citrus and grapefruit, a bit of earthy yeast, sweet base malts, perhaps even some lager malt in there. There is a sweetness that sticks around that is very pleasant.

Taste- Light bitter tanginess, so much hop but not as much as the triple IPA, Devil Dancer that caused blisters on the tongue. This is a good thing, I can drink this one and it doesn't hurt me near as badly until the alcohol catches up. The sweetness is still here lingering making this one smooth DIPA. Sad that it's only in 4 packs for the winter season. I've been going IPA bonkers this winter and in quantity.

Mouthfeel- Creamy, sticky, not astringent, bitter, warming, smooth, medium full bodied, and lightly carbonated.

Drinkability- This is an excellent drinker and I would choose this as my lawnmower beer. I would be hot as hell, but I would be happy.

Bottle > Pint Glass

A - Pours a really nice yellow color with a finger of soapy white head, mid range lacing.
S - Very floral in aroma with some nice pineapple and lime hints.
T - The floral and pine hit you first, and then you get a nice touch of some ripe pineapple and a touch of honey, some real balanced light malt and a touch of dankness as it finishes.
M - Kind of cloyingly sweet at first, but fades to a nice bitter end.
O - This is a very well done Double IPA, crisp and fresh flavors, but a bold brew by all means. A must have for IPA lovers.
