Had this thanks to georgiabeer - much obliged!
Pours a hazy copper-amber color with a one-finger off-white head. The head recedes into a wispy layer on top leaving light lacing.
Smells of robust malts with good amounts of sugar-coated citrus hops and a mild amount of alcohol that increases as the beer warms.
Tastes good. Caramel malt flavors up front are joined by citrus and somewhat herbal hop flavors shortly. The ending is mildly bitter with a good malt aftertaste.
Mouthfeel is good. It has a nice thickness with slightly lower than average carbonation.
Drinkability is good. It drinks about average for a 10% DIPA but could do a better job of masking it. As it stands I still had no problem finishing my glass and could have at least one more.
Overall this is a good DIPA but not quite as good as I was expecting by the makers of Hop 15. Still, worth a shot.

Review from notes. Came across as pretty one dimensional, especially given Pizza Port's brewing acumen for this style. Comes in dark, yellow/auburn notes, thin 1/4" white head. Aroma was alcohol first, then you got a smidge of tropical fruit, nondescript.
Taste was a 100ibu face melt bomb. Didn't impart enough hop flavor. Overly syrupy, thick, viscous. I dunno, I didn't find anything special about this, in fact it was below average for sure for them, one of their worst hoppy beers of all time.
