Wow. This might be one of the best IPA's I've ever had. Got a growler of this last week. Cracked it open today.

Pours a perfect clear golden color with a very nice sticky white head with nice lacing down the glass.

Aroma is tons of hops. Citrus, pine grapefruit hops. Smells awesome.

Taste is awesome. Very hoppy but alot of hop flavor too. Not just bitter. It got slightly oxidized in the growler after a week but I won't dock it for that. Not the best IPA I've ever had (Younger gets that award) but maybe 2nd best. I wish I could get this often.

Mouthfeel is nice and carbed. Little lighter than the tap version I would imagin but not bad for the growler.

Overall an amazing IPA. Good thing km only sharing this growler with 1 other person.

Had this on cask, not bad actually.

The appearance was hazy, understandable given the double dry hopping and the cask treatment. This was about the best smelling cask ale ever. Not dominated by wood or anything, the dry hopping stood out. Superior to the regular version in every way except for carbonation I guess. Exactly as you would expect, delicious hoppy notes of pine, light malt bill, alcohol there but not overwhelming. Dry toasty pale malts.
