look: 4.5 | smell: 5 | taste: 5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 5
Poured into a snifter/tulip/wine hybrid glass from a 16.9oz can

A - A semi-cloudy bright orange/copper, one finger fuzzy off-white head and a bit of lacing/legs

S - Nice sweet funky yeast up front, really nice tropical, citrus, perfectly ripe pineapple, slight pine sap, lots of sugar, fresh cut grapefruit with sugar sprinkled on top, sweet and dry malts/grains, lovely dank and just reminds you of everything beautiful in the world.

T - Whoa, a really nice pineapple, pine, citrus and island fruit up front, very nice sweet citrus and bitter citrus rind, very nice sweet sugar, bright semi-sweet malts/grains (with a hint of toast as well), nice n' dank, huge island/tropical flowers, nice funky yeast, and lots of love.

M - Medium plus body, perfect balance, fantastic complexity, medium acidity, medium carbonation and exactly what you dream of what a DIPA should be.

D/O - First off, wow, I mean just wow. I would be rendered speechless if I didn't have a review to write. Crisp, clean, perfect flavor, amazing balance and just the right amount of everything. This is up there with the upper echelon of DIPA's. This one is great with most foods, most deserts and ANY time of year. Whoa.

Final thoughts - I'd drink this everyday if I knew the price and lived anywhere near VT. The 7.5% ABV is perfect on top of more perfect (even though it tastes upwards of 8%). Dang.

Nice deep golden pour into a pint glass. Head is prominent and the lacing is very good. Plenty of tropical fruit with pungent pine all up front on the aroma. Juicy tropical fruit like tangerine, ruby red grapefruit couple with some earthy funk that blends very well with the pine floor. Finishes with a nice reminder that this is a double IPA.

16 oz can into IPA glass. Dated 7/24/18.
Nose is sweet tropical fruit. Look is cloudy orange. Taste follows nose and says sweet through out. Feel is smooth and light/medium. Overall a very nice NE DIPA. would definitely buy again.

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours orange red with slight yellow tint and a small white head. Smells of citrus and sweet floral hops, and slight grain. Tastes of strong citrus hops and piney hops, with some grain. Beer is light bodied and extremely drinkable for a double IPA. Overall, a very good beer.

This was poured into a snifter. The appearance was a hazy burnt orange color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipates fairly quickly. The lace just rims the entire upper part of the glass in a full thin glaze. The smell starts off with a sweet dank onion leading on to a grassy sweet bitterness. Fully bittersweet bursting with juicy citrus and piney hops just pummeling my nose. The taste was fully bittersweet through the previously mentioned flavors and running the gamut in the aftertaste of sweet to bitter and dankiness (really sticky). On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body. I’d say its a good sipper with a nice oily smooth stickiness clinging to my tongue. Overall, DIPA, its really good.
