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

22oz bottle, pours hazy orange with a thin off-white head that leaves some of the best lacing I've seen. Aromas are citric grapefruit & orange, earthy, caramel, brown sugar and bread crust. Tastes are pungent from the get-go, grapefruit rind, oily leafy fresh piny hop, earthy, peppery, solid bready & caramely backbone almost holds up to the pungent hop punch, but not quite. Mouth-feel is thick and full bodied - maybe too full. It's oily yet very creamy, coats the palate well with sticky hop resins, finishes with a prickle on the tongue and a slight astringency with the bitterness. Overall, I wasn't sure if I liked this from the start, but it really does bode well. It's both super malty while being super hoppy, giving it great complexity. I'd go back to this one again if the price was right.

22 oz bottle. Pours slightly hazy golden copper with a big rocky white head that retains well and laces the glass.

The aroma is sweet sugary melon and dank piney peppery hops.

The flavor is is a let down - earthy grassy bitterness, a little sugary fruit, and some cardboard notes. The mouthfeel is light bodied and very watery.

Overall, I was excited after pouring, but the flavors are not bright and a bit off and it's really watery.

Clear apricot colroed with a thick beige head of foam that lingers long and slowly recedes. Low aroma of citrus hops, some lightly toasted malt. Fresh hoppy flavors full of tangerine and grapefruit rind, some piney notes. Good honied malt backbone, but the hops really shine through on this one. Dry mouthfeel, a bit puckery in the cheeks from the hop bitters, but full. Very enjoyable beer overall.

look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.25

Orange/amber with a light haze and creamy, light beige cap. Good head retention with sheets of sticky lace clinging to the glass. Citrusy aroma that faded into caramel. Some grapefruit and pine, a bit pithy, slight tangerine, powdery, wet grass. The taste was similar to the aroma profile, but everything was dialed back in power. Bitterness only took charge close to the finish and it had a slightly grainy quality, but alcohol was nicely controlled. Medium/full body with soft carbonation and a bit of dryness.

Poured orange coppery with a creamy head decent lacing. Smells citric and piney but with a strong sweet malt presence. A faint scent of lemon peel as well. Taste opens up with mild citrus and more prominent resin flavor then a wallop of sweet biscuit malt. Bitterness is moderate. Subtle dark fruit and semi sweet chocolate as well. Taken in total it's a bit of a mess, the flavors don't get along, leaving a general sourness on the palate. Mouthfeel is decent. Carbonation strong. Mediocre effort.

A 22oz bomber received as a Christmas gift

A - Deep golden, with a bit of clarity. 1 finger of head and lots of sticky lace left all over the glass.

S - Nice mix between piny and citrus hops. Lots of hops. Fresh dank hops. Very good.

T - A very well blend of citrus and pine hops. Grapefruit, lemon.

M - Medium bodied, medium carbonation. Oily, slick.

O - Def recommend to hop heads. Very tasty DIPA, and at 8%, it won't knock you out if you are planning to enjoy many more in your day/night.
