This beer is a hazy one the color of burnished bronze. A couple of fingers of head form, soft but sturdy, retaining well and leaving steady lacing on the glass.
Lots of aroma comes out of this one. Plenty of tropical fruits greet the nose up front with a zesty citrus backing underneath a big blanket of hops and a gentle compliment of caramel malts that allow the hops to be at the forefront without being lost.
Hops kick on the tongue and remain even while citrus zest and tropical fruits sweetness come into play. A yeast hangs out underneath adding an interesting component and amplifying the doughy quality of the malts, which also add a light caramel touch. The main show here is hops, but the malts aren't lost and there's lots of complexity and sweetness to keep the puckering low and maximize enjoyment of the flavor.
Interestingly, this one starts off smooth then gets more crisp as it goes. The body is on the heavy side of medium and the carbonation kicks in with sequential sip.
This is one delicious beer. The only thing holding me back from more is the extremely high ABV.

22oz. bottle shared with a friend and poured into tulip glasses.

Nice orange hue with a decent and somewhat rocky head.

Smells of sweet citrus and mango, maybe some pine and pineapple.

Tastes literally like a creamy IPA. I was surprised by how much character the lactose actually contributed.

Mouthfeel was probably the most interesting part. The creaminess of the body of the beer helped to carry the bitterness much longer than I would have expected, but in a very pleasant way.

A beer truly unlike anything else I've ever had.

Poured into a tulip glass. Likely not fresh.

A: Dull copper color. A finger of head that retreats to a frothy rim and film. A little cloudy. Very nice lacing.

S: POW. Very fragrant, right off the bat. A lot of pineapple, less citrus, a little hops.

T: The taste does not follow the smell. Bitter hops, pine, and booze. Floral at the end.

M: Full bodied. High carbonation. Not very smooth.

O: A very good IPA (double). The smell is the best aspect of this beer. The taste and feel fell a little short. For hop heads that enjoy a tropical fruit/citrus aroma, this is right up your alley. I will certainly try this ale again. It is a good substitute for zombie dust.
