From old, undated notes; had this on draft.
Light orange color, very see-through.
Nice head; amazing lacing. A wall of lace you can't even smudge with your finger!
Smells of high grade marijuana; no joke.
Flavor is of bitter grapefruit; no sweetness in sight.
Too bitter and unbalanced for me, but I'm sure many hop-heads would rejoice.

On tap at PreFunk. Hop resin rules the day, overload of pine, dry sappy bitterness. Slightly hazy pour with small creamy white head. Hops on the nose and full force in the taste. Dry sweet finish. This is what IPAs are all about.

Mixture of light orange and yellow, soft white head 2/3". Aroma was good, but not "Alpine*" good, seemed to have some simcoe and c hops.
Taste was very hoppy, good flavor, not just bitterness. Mouthfeel still hid the 9% abv with a dry toasted pale malt body staying away from heavier malt feels. The hop flavors waft from citrus to tropical to vegetal greens.
Very enjoyable, just wish it was available in a format better than a bomber, but wasn't ridiculously priced.

Had this beer at Brawley's in Charlotte NC. This beer is big, bold, and pungent. Since I'm a hop head, it was right up my alley. Wish they made this year round.

Golden orange color with a small white head. Smell is sweet and grapefruity. Malt sweetness dominates the flavor with some fruity hops poking through and a slightly bitter aftertaste. Good feel on this, lightly carbonated and medium body. Good DIPA, worth a pint.
