Thanks to sarge27 for this major want as an extra. Poured into KtG bulb glass.

A 2 finger white is thick and lush that turns foamy. The body is pretty clear with a small haze and is gold with a slight orange tint. As the head slowly comes down thick, foamy lace is left and a 1/4" slab of foam is left above the body. Some nice carbonation bubbles as well. Very close to a 5

S Big citrusy hops come out initially and a strong earthy/piney scent follows. Tropical fruits are intertwined in there as well.

T Big bitter bite upfront that carries all the way to the finish. Orange zest, pine, grass, floral, earthy hops take the majority of the flavor. This is mainly bitter with flavors coming through secondary.

M Medium carbonation feel that consists of tiny bubbles. Feel is a bit heavier and thicker than other DIPAs. Finish is somewhat dry.

O Very nice bitterness all the way through and looked amazing in the glass. My only complaint is the feel, it's a little thick but not the end of the world. Well done DIPA.
