look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3 | overall: 3

12 Ounce brown bottle

Appearance: Medium dark golden color with about 2 fingers of head after a pretty strong pour

Smell: Strong hoppy smell with a slight earthy smell in the background

Taste: It has a bitterness to it that almost has a toasted grassy taste too it. Not as strong as I would expect but to me it is just the right amount of bitterness. Even with the high ABV the there is no alcohol taste to it which sometimes there is a hint of.

12oz bottle with no date served into a glass chalice

great look to it: unfiltered, hazy-orange, very fine sediment throughout. Smell is Very Fruity: pureed mangos and peaches with a pine backbone. taste follows, but with less fruit and more pine/wood, peppery/biscuity malt, and finishing very bitter with lingering spice.

top-tier, but can't quite beat sucks/hopslam/abrasive. spizy stuff

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.
