look: 3.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4.5

Pours a translucent light bronze with a 1-finger yellow head that quickly dissipates. Lacing is minimal.

The smell is strong of grapefruit with wet, piney hops. Taste is citrusy--grapefruit and lemon hops--along with pineapple and other tropical fruits, pine, and caramel. The mouthfeel is carbonated, acidic, oily, and medium-bodied.

This is a very good DIPA. I would recommend drinking it fresh, but with the significant pine and caramel characteristics, it could be interesting with a little age on it. This would go great with cheddar or Gorgonzola cheese.

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

Poured from 12 oz. bottle into Sam Adams glass. Poured a light brown with a touch of red. Thick foamy head with thick lacing.

Smell is piny resin, cirtusy, lemons.

Taste is hops upfront, pine dissipates to citrus then a molasses aftertaste.

Mouthfeel is substantial with a nice carbonation level.

Overall a nice example of the style. The taste has mellowed with age, but still very flavorful.
