Hazy and golden in color. Minimal head with a precise pour from a bottle into a snifter glass.
Smell is slightly bitter, but very fruity. Most prominent notes are orange peel, grapefruit. Whatever hops they use, I'm impressed.
Taste is velvety, floral, fruity, and bitter. It showcases a flavor profile that only a young Imperial can deliver. Fruitier than Heady Topper, Milder than Double Jack, smoother than anything from Lagunitas (and I'm a way bigger fan of Lagunitas than Stone, usually).
You'll appreciate the mouthfeel. It sticks around and makes you want the experience to last longer. Finish is long and memorable.
Overall, it's a great beer, but a bit pricier than several competitors that offer similar young double IPAs for half the cost. That being said, if it's the only beer I'm drinking that evening, it's a solid choice. It doesn't leave me wishing I ordered something else.

look: 4.25 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4
Poured from 22 ounce bomber into a perfect pint glass.
Pours light to darker golden bronze. Gets hazy towards the top. Nice fluff of white foam sits a top. Strong pine nose but fades out quickly. Real firm hop bitter blasts out and holds throughout. Really fresh tasting, but nothing mellow about it.

A - Nice cloudy, light golden. Good head.
S - One of the real strengths of this beer. Citrusy, herbal, some spice but not overly.
T - Again, citrusy and lemony flavors, medium hop flavors, yet very sessionable for the abv. Solid taste.
M - Smooth, not overly carbonated.
O - A very solid IPA. It's no wonder fans of this style seek this out. With food, I found it going down very quickly, despite the high alcohol.
