thanks klikger for bringing this back fresh. canned 12/20/10

a - light clear golden color. white head. would like to see a little more color.

s - smells amazing. sweet pine hops. exactly like a DIPA should smell.

t - huh. very large hops bitterness. nice sweetness. but it has a creaminess in the body, which is odd at first. its an amazing flavor, and even more incredible how much the malt backbone comes through. the grapefruit fruitiness comes up pretty strong as well.

m - like I said, its quite creamy. medium body and typical carbonation. bitterness leaves a dry finish.

overall - very tasty. this would be a fun one to age and see what happens. I feel the 9%, but don't taste it. very drinkable.

Serving type: can
