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

Appearance - Pours a crystal clear, bright golden orange with a white, half finger head and sub-par retention. Fair, somewhat spotty lacing with good stick.

Smell - Aroma hits on ruby red grapefruit, touches of pineapple, peppery spice and pine. Faint astringency.

Taste - Big, bittersweet ruby red grapefruit character. Moderate pine resin. Hints of pepper. Malts aren't tasted so much as they are felt, though they definitely contribute to the sweetness.

Mouthfeel - Medium to full body. Moderate carbonation. Somewhat sticky, though smooth going down.

Overall - I can't help but think Lagunitas when drinking this beer. Reminds me of Sucks, without the more definitive malt backbone. Definitely scratches the same itch. Great beer, but for the price, I'll stick with Sucks.

Pours a very clear, straw color, decent head. The smell is strong and nice. All hops, with a touch of that oniony smell/flavor. This one leans away from the citrus side and goes more for the dankness. Taste is good, just like the smell. They did a really nice job of infusing the hop flavors into this beer. The hops are strong, but the beer is by no means bitter. Mouthfeel was good. Well carbonated, a bit of body. All in all, it's a very solid DIPA with great hop flavor, even though it's not quite the hop profile I would have gone for.
