Wow. This is some excellent stuff. 3Floyds is awesome.

Poured into glass from a six ounce bottle. Little head which soon dissipates. Good amount of bubbles. Nice amber color. Translucent. Cloudy. Adequate amount of lacing around the glass as well.

Smell is divine. Pure, raw citrus hops. Centennial written all over it. Bliss. I love it. It increases your expectations from this IPA. It might not be very complex, but it is awesome. Unlike many other APAs, the intensity persists.

Taste : Well more malts here. Not to say it is sweet. It is still bitter. However not so much as the nose suggests. Good balancing act here. Citrus hops upfront. Felt very deeply. However won't burn your tongue or throat. Ends with more balanced taste and this hides its bitterness.

Mouth feel : Doesn't leave anything to be desired. Good.

Overall an excellent stuff from 3Floyds. My second beer from them. First one was at the pub, on tap, the name of which i do not seem to remember. It was an IPA as well. Highly recommended.
