look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4.5

12oz. poured into pint glass

Appearance: Clear orange with streaming lines of carbonation and a one inch white head.

Smell: Bitter citrus hops and some thick sweetness and a little bit of roasted caramel malts.

Taste: A lot sweeter than I would have expected but still with a good amount of bitter. Lots of grapefruit and pineapple flavors from the hops that almost comes of as resinous.

Mouthfeel: Not too thick and not too light.

Drinkability: Fairly high. I was surprised at how easy it was to get through this DIPA.

Overall: I'm really enjoying this one. This is something I'll definitely be picking up another six pack of.

A - Pours an incredibly clear amber with a monster 2+ finger light tan head. Retention is quite strong, lacing is perfect.

S - Sweet sugary toasted caramel malts, citrusy as well as spicey piney hops, very smokey, alcohol is detectable.

T - Spiced hops and alcohol burn up front, but transitions into a super sweet citrusy fruityness (possibly some figs/dark cherries) followed by more alcohol burn. (possibly some figs/dark cherries).

M - Medium bodied or less, appropriate carbonation - fairly smooth but the alcohol makes it just a bit less drinkable than desired.

O - Not that this is too much to handle, but the alcohol burn is just a little overpowering to the other flavors of the beer. Otherwise fantastic, just a little off balance IMO
