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

Poured from 12oz bottle into a pint glass.

Appearance: rich, hazy orange hue with a moderate effervescence and two fingers of frothy ivory foam with a bit of an orange cast. Quite nice.

Smell: very sweet malt aroma with a mild but enticing cast of earthy and floral hops. A nice combo.

Taste: somewhat complex malt which is mostly sweet with some biscuity character in the background. Hops are floral and citrusy in character but are somewhat overwhelmed in flavor by the malt. Bitterness is quite high, especially early in the flavor. Not perfect, but quite tasty.

Mouthfeel: big body with a good level of carbonation yielding a silky, creamy mouthfeel. This guy is not only big in ABV, but big in body as well; bigger than most DIPAs I've tried.

Overall: strong but tasty, this is a nice sipper. It has a strong malt component that balances (perhaps over-balances) its hop presence and bitterness. I rather like it.

4.14/5  rDev +4.8%
look: 4.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25

Poured into a snifter.

A: Slightly hazy golden copper color with one-finger, foamy, creamy, off-white head that lasted a couple minutes and left a nice film. Fantastic lacing.

S: Caramel malt. Pine and citrus.

T: Moderate sweetness and moderate bitterness. Caramel malt, pine and citrus, like the nose. Alchohol was mostly unnoticable which was surprising.

M: Medium bodied with fizzy carbonation. Crisp and slightly dry.

O: A good imperial IPA. High ABV, but you couldn't tell from drinking it.
