Big thanks to Beerguy for this one...one of many fine brews from this brewery. Now in RI thanks to Frank at Diversified Imports.
Pours a beautiful cloudy, bright copper color with a full finger of bright white head...lacing is tight and has great cling to the side of my snifter glass.
Huge aromas of caramel, honey, citrus and no alcohol detected.
Taste is fruity bubblegum...a slight hint of alcohol, but not distracting. Not many can hide 10% alcohol, but they do a decent job of keeping it beneath everything else this brew has to offer.
A nice balance of sweetness and bitterness w/ a decent mouthfeel. The alcohol does make a bit more of an appearance as it warms up and the carbonation is a touch too high to keep me drinking this double beyond a bomber.
All in all a well made IIPA and one I would enjoy again.

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!
