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

12 oz brown bottle into... whatever you call the new Flying Dog glass. Best before 1/27/13

Appearance: Pours a hazy burnt copper. Nice two finger beige colored head. Great retention and some sticky lacing throughout.

Aroma: Has a bright citrusy hop aroma. Apricot, orange, pine and tobacco. Toasty biscuity malt.

Taste: Not quite like the aroma would lead on. Malts are unexpectedly present throughout and provide a solid backbone and balance. That being said, plenty of pungent piney and citrusy hops. Some herbal earthy flavor going on. The ornage and apricot flavors are there. It's a fairly standard but well-made DIPA

Mouthfeel: Medium body with smooth carbonation. Somewhat dry.

Was a more malt-heavy DIPA than I typically prefer but it's also a well-crafted DIPA without many flaws.

Serving type: bottle

A-Clear amber orange, two finger head, leaves some lacing.

S-Malt, caramel, some dirt and grass, not as much hops as I was expecting.

T-Starts malty with caramel, then dirt and grassy hops. Milt citrus hops and mild bitterness.

M-Medium bodied, nicely carbonated and some hop resins.

O-Not as aggressive for a DIPA as I'd like, the bottle was fresh, but it needed some more hops.
