This is like, Pizza Port's offering in the Pliny the Younger vein. Hits the mild orange spots, white head that can't formulate and hang because of the amount of hop oils and alcohol.
Was like a humid pine forest of aromas.
Taste was pretty good at hiding alcohol, dropping tropical and citrus fruit notes, bitter but not 100 ibu grating levels of bitter. Very good stuff, always happy to see this one show up. Still not as good as Pseudo Ipa.

Unfortunately for me in the end this had way too much alcohol hotness.
Appearance: This beer pours a menacing dark glowing orange with a slight haze to it. When poured it had a slight yellowish with a little green color to the head of the beer. First time i can think of where there is a slight green color to the head-- Crazy.
Smell: The overwhelming smell is definitely grapefruit with some orange,mango and slight pineapple in there. Not much if any pine to the smell to me. A little apricot there as well.
Taste: The taste almost follows the smell. Like drinking fresh grapefruit juice. This stuff definitely has some bitterness to it with all those hops chucked in there but there is a slight malt backbone where it doesn't bite as bad as say Ruination. Pretty clean and dry on the after taste. Not too much alcohol to the taste.
Mouthfeel: Nice carbonation to deliver the flavor and pretty thin on the mouthfeel itself. Nice little bite from the carbonation.
Drinkability: I just cracked this growler and am half way through the first glass in my Bruery tulip. This stuff for as high of IBU's as it has is going done pretty quick surprisingly. I won't go as far as to say it sessionable but would love this stuff to come out in bombers. I have some drinking to do here and some dreaming tonight for my Raiders to beat down on the Chiefs.

A dark orange bordering on amber; reminds me of tree sap. Almost no head. Looks somewhat thick and oily.
Tropical and citrus fruits, namely grapefruit. Some pine.
Bitter from start to finish but refreshing and pleasant. Sweet malt backbone underneath a mountain of hops. Delicious.
Full mouthfeel. Somewhat sticky.
Fantastically drinkable for a double-digit ABV DIPA. Appropriately named, as this beer karate chops you in the face with hops: a good thing!
