A: Poured a half finger off white head that settled to sparse islands of moderately sized bubbles. Color is a hazy orangey peach. Copious amounts lacing decorate the glass.

S: Explosive. Tangerine, apricot, lemon zest, molasses, fresh Christmas pine.

T: Prepare to be gunned down from an arsenal of hop varieties. The flavor is fruity, spicy, grassy, and oozes with fresh hops. Black pepper, mango, cloves, fresh cut grass, pineapple and sweet toasty sweet malt leave you wanting more.

M: Coats your insides with hop resin like ornaments on the tree. Carbonation is very delicate and the ABV is nowhere to be found. Finishes wet and slick.

O: I am willing to become a fallen soldier, a casualty to the freshness this beer offers. This is really what matters when it comes to a great tasting IPA.

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.
