Once our eyes were opened to the potential of the hop cone, we couldn’t be stopped. With a laser focus, we magnified the hop factor, and pushed the boundaries of flavor, aroma, and perception itself to create HI-RES. It’s Mad Science.

The thing I like about this the most is how drinkable it is and for a high abv beer it's really quite remarkable. The aroma is good but not great. Really more like an IPA than a DIPA. Nice somewhat fruity, not too intense and no excess. Solid. Head leaves a little quickly. A somewhat darker amber than many but very clear. Solid.
Now in taste and feel, "that's where I'm a Viking". So smooth. Very pleasing intensity with no excess. The bitterness hits both softly and boldly and lingers very nicely. The intermingling hop flavors are very nice too with fruit, a very little grass and kinda' of generic herbal quality. Soft and full carbonation with a fullness but but not thick or sticky (as I sometimes like my DIPA's). But these last to areas are just so enjoyable. The alcohol is can be help and just the smallest bit of heat, but is covered well or ignored easily by the hops.
This is a dangerous beer, as it can be drank so easily. I like it.

Hazy, golden color. Nice, white head. Dank hops, pine, and tropical fruits in aroma. Malty backbone with strong, hoppy bitterness in taste. Full-bodied and smooth.

This is probably too much for me in the abv dept, but pretty darn impressive to hide most any of the booze behind a wall of hops. This one's got some bite to it, glad I tried it and wish there were others from this brewer available locally.
