A very nice looking beer. Head is highly carbonated, brilliant white, 3 fingers high. Leaving thick sticky splotches of lace. A crimson/copper color depending how the light hits it.
Nose is pleasant. Very well balanced of floral hops and hints of pine, with a nice amount of thick malt. Malt is full of toffee, and somewhat sweet. Seems like a barley wine in smell almost. Hints of dried fruits as well lend this too similarities with a BW.
This IIPA is drinkable but not overly palatable, and very one sided with alcohol burn excessively dominating the mouth and chest. Again a candied toffee malt with a blend of caramel, hops are hard to distinguish. Lending more toward pine, and floral bittering, with a slight bit of fruit. Everything just seems somewhat out of whack. Hops are too bitter and roughly chewy too really help the mouthfeel. Overall a lackluster attempt.

Part one of my beer haul from a Syracuse trip.
Hazy deep amber hue with a short but persistent head.
Ripe mangoes and plums come forth on the nose..A hint alcoholic..subtle yet foreboding.
Taste is in line with the aroma..except there is not a hint of heat at all..a real sneaky brew at 10%.
Full rich mouthfeel with fine, mild carbonation. All in all an outstanding DIPA and definitely a repeat buy in the future!
