A: Poured from the bottle into a Piraat tulip/snifter-type glass. Body is slightly hazy orangey-amber with a 1-finger, tight-bubbled foamy ivory head on top. Some lacing.
S: Old school DIPA nose: citrus & herbal hops, a touch of pine, over honey malt.
T: Citrus is there - more orange than anything else, though with a bit more bitterness on the finish that suggests grapefruit pith or peel. Some tropical fruit, but I keep coming back to creamy orange - it's like an orangesicle ice cream bar. A touch of peach is there, as well as some lime at the finish. The 8% ABV is not evident at all.
M: This beer loses me a bit with the mouthfeel - first impression, it comes across as thin and watery. After a few sips my palate adjusts, but it's still on the thin side, though a creamy carbonation becomes more noted. Finishes quite dry.
O: Interesting. Not sure what to make of this over all - it has some nice aspects to it, but the feel doesn't seem to fit a DIPA.

Pours hazy amber orange with a dense creamy white foam head. Smells like strawberry shortcake, pineapple, candied toffee, slight butterscotch, caramel, dark honey, bready biscuity grain, sweet guava, papaya, melons, berry, grapefruity citrus, with some earthy piney grass. Tastes like melon, berries, papaya, strawberry, guava, grapefruit, pineapple, orange, sweet toffee, dark honey, dark caramel, bready biscuity malt, with dank pine and herbal earthy grass. Feels medium bodied, smooth and creamy with low carbonation. Overall a nice double IPA.
