It's good. Not great. Not sure about some of the hype. My opinion.
A: Very dark for an ipa of this strength (dark amber). Could see this from a huge double... Good head with some retention. Color is slightly alarming...
S: Excellent piney hop aromas. Very distinct and very savory.
T: Hop-centric for sure. Could use more mid palate richness to round it out. The pointed hops with some lack of malt balance makes this drink fairly thin though it does have substance.
M: Fairly thin seemingly though i think the hops merely lend to that impression. Nothing fantastic here, but solid with excellent crispness and texture.
D: Totally drinkable, a good enough that you want another.
Not one I'd seek out again, but thank you bechel! It's a very good beer I was excited to try from a brewery I've been craving.

Yet another big thanks to yamar68 for this one.

Pint can poured into a Duvel tulip.

Appearance: Dark orange/amber with a nice 1" head initially the recedes to a cap, very nice sticky lacing.

Smell: Balanced aroma of both malt and hops.

Taste: Another really well balanced IPA, the sweetness of the bready malt comes up first followed by the hoppy bitterness. It's really hard to say if the hops are more citrus than pine or just at the right balance (must like the beer in general). Almost like a heavily hopped Belgian Tripel with respect to a flavor profile that starts sweet but finished with a pleasant bitterness.

Mouthfeel: Smooth, well carbonated, and very clean on the palate.

Overall: Another very good example of a well balanced flavorful IPA.

Serving type: can
