What I like most about this IPA is it's dry mouthfeel. It doesn't overdo the whole double IPA thing to overwhelm you.

12oz bottle, 3 months after best by date on bottle. Clear with minimal head.
Aroma slight citrusy.
Taste is smooth, with various notes well blended, nothing prominent.
Mouthfeel is smooth, light carbonation.
A good beer, would buy again.

Appearance: Crystal clear light honey color, with a big and fluffy off white head. Spotty lacing. Pretty beer.
Smell: Fresh orange, bit of pine, slightly herbal and floral. Not a strong smelling beer, but it smells nice.
Taste: Sweet and bitter. Citrus, mainly with a bit of orange. More of a candied orange than fresh, not artificial though. Good dose of pine in there followed by a lasting bitterness. Malt is straight forward, borderline syrupy and throws some white bread flavor into the mix. Alcohol comes through loud and clear in the taste. Boozy finish.
Feel: Medium bodied, light carbonation, a little syrupy but still dry. All of that 8.2% can be felt.
Overall: A brash, boozy and enjoyable double IPA.

This beer has a clear orange appearance & a thick off-white head. The aroma is of citrus. The body is medium-full. Tastes are of grapefruit and orange.

The high (8%) ABV is well-hidden.

This is a great tasting and great smelling Double IPA with a surprisingly light body. It almosts tastes like a Belgian Tripel that was hopped like an American Double IPA. It deserves the outstanding rating.

Copper color with thick sticky head. Pine aroma. Citrus and tropical hop flavors. Balanced well with crisp mouthfeel. Overall a good representation of the style.

On tap at Florida Taphouse. Pours a pretty copper color and maintains the lacing. This is all about the hops. Not malt. Just strongly piney hops. When I want to be reminded what IPA is about, this is a good reminder.

God almighty I’ve been on a whirlwind with this 15 pack, with some greats and some bombs. Anyhoo here we go on this one.
A- huge head, huge lacing, amber color. Check.

S-earth pine, prominent hops, citrus, bready malt

T- orange, citrus, strong, strong spicy malt, some arboreal bitterness, pine underbrush. It’s good.

M- oily, full bodied.

O- good lord after some of the crap I had to drink in this mixed pack I’m glad this and the normal IPA restored my faith in ST
