look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3

Clearish amber-red colour with no real head. Okay.

Sweet malty aroma with some citrussy hops. Mild acetaldehyde that accentuates the sweetness.

Malty sweetness with more acetaldehyde. Some bitterness and touches of tropical hops. Not amazing.

Medium-full body with moderate carbonation. A bit thick.

A disappoint DIPA. Okay I suppose but the acetaldehyde kills it.

look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25

8 oz pour from a bottle into a snifter
Bottled on: 3/13/13

A: Pours a dark caramel color with reddish hues. 1/2 a fingers width of tan head builds then quickly fades. Leaves only the faintest hints of lacing.

S: Dank resinous hops, sappy pine, citrus rind. Malt sweetness to balance it out, and some booze to add to the complexity. I'm surprised by how great this smells. Love the aroma.

T: Malty, boozy. Hops take a back seat, which was not the case in the aroma (but may be partially due to the age, although at 2 months its not that old). I also get burnt sugar, piney hop bitterness, and citrus rind. This is really booze, although being a fan of boozy beers I actually like it. More of an American Barley than DIPA in my opinion, or reminiscent of a not as good version of DFH 120. That being said I actually really dig it.

M/D: Full bodied, not necessarily thick, and def not syrupy. Carbonation on the higher end. ABV is certainly noticeable but I think it adds nicely to the beers complexity. Drinkability is good.

O: Overall, Im a big fan of this one. Its not the typical DIPA, but if you like big, bold, boozy beers you will be a fan of this one. Now that its available in 4 packs (at less than half the price of the old singles!) I will def look to purchase this one again.
