by gopens44 from Virginia
Looks like a dingy, pale-ish ice tea with a less than enthused white head that ends up as a fizzy little sheet. Nose is primarily like a candy tangerine or something. Finishes off a touch hot, which predictably enough is exactly how it starts off tasting. So, fairly astringent and messy heat is the overwhelming taste up front but does allow some of that sweet fruit to creep in eventually. Finishes thin but angry (I mentioned the heat, ya?) with just not a ton of depth.

I get a lot of sweetness from this IPA. A little caramel and very light hoppy notes on the finish.

by citizencane from Pennsylvania
Good solid double IPA with hints of citrus, pine, and a bubble gum like flavor of some sort that plays interestingly off the thick mouthfeel...wait nope it's an odd dank fruit of some sort from the hops. Whatever it is I approve.

Well balanced. Exceptional example of a modern DIPA. Grapefruit front with clean, lingering finish.

A: Translucent golden hue. Bright white head that dissipates slowly.
S: Super grassy nose. Really enjoyable.
T: Grassy and piney. Slight bitterness right on the tail.
F: Finishes a bit dry, but super drinkable.
O: Very nice. Reminds me of a great west coast IPA.

Filtered DIPA and a solid effort. Light in tropical nose and mild on bitterness, this is a solid effort from PB. not my favorite from them but not a disappointment either. Drank at brewery in a wine glass
