Poured from 22oz Bomber into nonic pint glass,Appearance is Hazy Apricot with plenty of carbonation,3 fingers pillowy head,nose is mango,lemon zest-and pine,taste is just what I'm looking for,powdery dry and All Hops,little to no malt profile and not heavy at 7.5 ABV for a Dipa...EXCELLENT!! Just what a West Coast Hop Bomb Should be...forget the balance Hop heads demand a lupulin Bomb...and this one Delivers! Best readily available Dipa Hop bomb on the planet....great Job Northwest Brewing,...CHEERS!

Served from 22oz bomber
A — Pours a light and clear yellow color, there almost appears to be a tinge of green around the edges as well. Thin white colored head doesn't leave behind the greatest lacing ever, but not bad.
S — Smells of lemon and pine needles, almost artificially lemon forward, quite zezty.
T — Tastes like the nose, extremely bitter, notes of lemon, pine, earthy and medicinal.
M — Quite astringent and dry, no real lingering sweetness.
O — OK overall, would actually like to see the ABV a bit higher to bring up some character.

Bright gold colored body; thick, dense, white head; lots of fine carbonation gently rising; sticky clumps of foam on the glass. Fruity aroma with citrus and pine resin notes; lemon; sweet caramel. Soothing biscuit and caramel malt flavors that quickly give way to an intense hop bitterness. Medium-heavy body; chewy; residual sugars add to the body while the huge hop presence and ABV makes for an overall dry finish.
This beer delivers on its stated aim to deliver a huge hop bomb. Bitterness and aroma dominate yet there is a nice, subtle balance brought to play with the grain bill. A must try for hop junkies...

Look: Pours a beautifully clear red amber, one finger plus of pale gold head, that settles to a ring. Pretty pretty.
Smell: Aroma has some interesting spice notes, and a grassy/vegetal thing that doesn't always work for me, and isn't here.
Taste: Not balanced typical for the style, huge bitter hop bomb with scant malt flavor. I like big hop brews, so this personally scores well with moi.
Feel: Generally bright and refreshing. Lighter than I expect for the style. No alcohol heat here
Overall: Nice tasty hop bomb. A little on the light side in malt, abv, and body for the style, but the hop-riot makes up for that. Not a big "aroma" beer, odd given the giant hop assault in the flavor department. It's generally not what I'm looking for in a DIPA, but it is a ridiculously hoppy thing somewhere between a pale al;e and a barley wine, and I like that. I've dated crazy bitches before, this one I'll be seen with again...
