Poured into a tulip. A light orange body that's hinting at going into the sunset golden range. A nice white head that leaves just SHEETS of lace down the glass.

The nose seems off, I always worry when i wash the glass before using it on this area. A lot of grape fruit, tangerine, maybe hints of lemon and a hint of pine at the finish. The malt is not distinct which is appreciated.

The taste just follows up with the nose. A lot of wonderful citrus notes and plenty of hops. I should say the bottle is notched January 2012, but I feel like this one has already seen better days. I feel like this one was intended to have more powerful hop flavors and they have just faded enough where I notice this.

At 7.25% I can taste the alcohol and the weight of this. I'm not sure if they call it such but this is a powerful imperial IPA on the mouth feel side.

Well priced and well done IPA/double IPA, but it misses the wold class levels.
