a little confused as to the bottle size as it is labeled with "1 Pint 9.4 Fluid Ounces" which is 750ml, but this looks much larger than all of the other 750ml bottles I have. I've heard this is a 1 liter, which it definitely looks like. Green wax, flip-top.

anyways, that size bottle. . . into a 12oz snifter.

Pours a clear golden orange with light rising carbonation and an off-white quarter inch head. The head fades to a thin film with a frothy ring around the edge of the glass and great spotty lacing.

The aroma is of juicy tropical fruits with a caramel malt backing. There some faint pine notes as well. Really enjoyable.

The taste is of more tropical fruits from the hops with a pleasant malt backing. There is a light astringency in the finish that almost leads me to drop the score a little more, but I don't find it too distracting. There is a pleasant warming finish from the alcohol.

The mouthfeel is medium bodied with with average carbonation. As it warms it does get a bit more boozy, though not too bad.

I was really unsure what to expect with the mediocre ratings this has received thus far, but I really enjoyed this. While I will say that there are definitely less expensive choices of equal value, this was still in my opinion a very well done DIPA. To each his own I suppose!

Deep amber-brown color. Looks legit as an imperial. Hazy, unfilteredness. Good. Barely off-white lice, mixed fine.
Smell is clean, lovely, mild, to-type. What's not to like?
Taste: nicely balanced, very hoppy. Some marijuana funkiness.
Mouthfeel is good, rich.
Finish is mostly good, consistent - just a rough edge of bitterness, something that didn't quite come together.
Not a bad option at all.

22oz bottle served in a large mug. Date stamp on the bottle is 3/??/15.

Pours murky amber with a medium head and medium carbonation. Smell is old hops, unfortunately. Musty old rotting hay.

Taste is similar, although a little more interesting.Slight floral and citrus notes, aside from the vague bitterness.

Mouthfeel is thickish and soft. Overall, disappointing, but probably just past its prime.

Bought another bottle out of respect for Laurelwood (and lack of clear memory about my first experience). This one's dated 4/27/16, so it's only about a month old. If they're still using the same dating convention, the last one was about four months old. I also didn't pour completely (due to the huge head). If it's significantly different than the first review, I'll change my scores.

Pours clear darkish amber with a huge head, very slowly dissipating, medium carbonation. Thick lacing. Actually nice looking. Smell is old wood and vegetation, forest floor after a rain.

Taste is not particularly bright, dense bitterness and not a lot of other stuff going on, but not unpleasant.

Mouthfeel is the same. Overall, noticeably better than I previously reviewed it, but not a great beer. I'm updating my scores to reflect my opinion of the fresher version.
