From the bottle, it pours a hazy amber with a very modest head. The head quickly diminishes to a ring quickly. Lots of resiny hops in the nose. The mouth gets a solid smack of hops to go with the malty base. Alcohol makes this dangerous.

L: Poured from a bottle to a snifter glass. Had a deep, dark amber color and a cloudy texture. There was a 3/4", foamy, off white, fairly long-lasting head. Very good lacing.
S: An enticing aroma of hops, malt, resin, citrus, and caramel.
T: Tasted of a small amount of malt (not too much), lots of hops, some light pine resin (mostly in the finish), a bit of caramel, citrus (orange), and an earthy quality. This is one of those laser-focused flavors that gets better as you go along. The hops content is definitely present, but not obnoxiously so. Quite delicious.
F: A solid amount of carbonation with a smooth, slightly dry finish. Medium-bodied.
O: For the most part, this is a well made, easy to drink beer. If you like DIPAs, check it out.

This dark golden amber beer has minimal head and smells of, well ... hops. Bitter hops. Then the taste: bitter, biting, mouth-twisting hop bitterness. But it stings so good, if you like that sort of thing. Plus, the high booze is well-hidden.
