Sean9689 with the hookup here. Thanks again
Golden Orange pour with a huge big head that sticks with great lacing...bit cloudy
Smells of piney hops..citrus..green apple
Taste was great hops in the front with a malty presence in the back side ( did I just describe a mullet)?? Some grapefruit citrus and pineapple maybe.
Mouthfeel was nice and the ABV was hidden nicely.
Will definitely seek this one out again.

22 oz 2013 bottle served in a lager glass.
The clear body looks like honey, and there are suggestions of honey in both the aroma and the flavor. The aroma, however, is dominantly and strongly floral. The flavor has some citrus and herbal notes from the hops in addition to the floral ones. A relatively low bitterness (moderate) makes this very drinkable (aged) DIPA.
The high ABV is partially hidden.
