look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.75

A- pours light orange, clear, nice lingering two finger head that laces perfectly.
S- floral hops, bready, sweet honey, earthy, slightly malty, some ginger
T- warm hops, not harsh at all, very very well balanced. Like the smell, a lot of floral hops, honeysuckle, citrus, biscuit, the honey is notable but not in a sweet way.
M- as expected for a 10% , a little thicker but spot on.
O- so my first few I've drank through the week I thought it was a bit over rated. After sitting down and picking it apart, I realize this is one of the most enjoyable IPAs I've ever had, the honey gives it a nice district flavor without making it sweet and the flavors compliment eachother perfectly. I can't believe how drinkable this is for a 10% abv beer. Worth the large price tag .
