Bottle picked up in San Diego. Hoppy, but not enough for a DIPA. Hazy dark amber with silky beige head. Hops dominate aroma and taste, pine sol finish.

Bottle to tulip, the appearance was a semi-clear burnt orange color with a small white finger’s worth of foamy head. Left some spotty lace. The aroma had some sweet tropical fruity sugars, soft sweet citrus to bitter, light pine, subtle dried wood and ended with a little bit of danky sweet onion. The flavor started sweet and roamed into the danky sweet to light bitter. Spicy and earthy components slide in for balance. Nicely blended aftertaste filling the finish the same way. The palate was medium bodied with a good sipping quality about it. Good carbonation and the ABV felt appropriate. Overall, now that’s a West coast styled DIPA!

Pours a slightly cloudy, orange/honey hue. Some sticky lace left behind by the near two-finger width, fluffy off-white head that holds retention well. Pretty tropical fruit and hop forward up front on smell: grapefruit, guava, pineapple, along with pine and caramel from the malt.
I actually pick up the Nelson hops pretty heavy in this one, with a clovy, tobacco chewiness and strong pine resin presence. Overripe grapefruit, orange peel, guava as well. A slight earthiness followed by a wave of heavy malt backbone. Slightly creamy with a lingering bitterness on the tongue. Alcohol covered well.
Overall this was a decent DIPA. A little one-note but this was more hop-forward than malt-forward in my eyes despite prior reviews. Maybe I was just graced with a good batch? Who knows. But I feel this is deserving of a better rating.
