Pours a very murky orange-golden color with a quickly attenuating antique white head. Not a remarkably gorgeous beer. Not a big nose, but I pick up some cider right away. Mouthfeeel is pretty wet and slick with a dryer finish. The hop presence helps dry it out even more. First sip wasn't impressive. However, as I drink it, it gets better. I'm a Simcoe hop fan, so I might've anticipated trying this one a little too much. I do like it. It's well above average as a DIPA, just not in the same ballpark as the Double Jacks, Abrasives, and Pure Hoppinesses. The alcohol underlies the flavors. The bitterness of the alcohol sort of carries the flavors along without affecting them to drastically. A lot of bread and sweet cherry cordials. I like it a lot better as it warms up. It's much tangier and more citrusy cold. It gets sweet as it warms. There's some pine flavor in there. I think it is pretty complex. I'm a bigger fan now than I was in the beginning.
