Picked this growler up at the brewery two days ago, poured into my Duvel tulip. I believe they threw every hop that started with the letter C in this except Calypso, though I could be mistaken and it may be in there.
A - Poured into my glass a nice hazy golden yellow hue with a thin one finger white head that fades to leave a thin blanket. Very little lacing.
S - Aromas of danker, wet hops. Grapefruit, pine, citrus (though light. Very musty and kind of everywhere/hodgepodge like.
T - Taste is similar to the nose. Very dank/musty, which kind of gets in the way of the grapefruit/pine/citrus thing this has going on. The tropical notes are very light and are clashed a bit by the spicy hops that are present too.
M - Mouthfeel is decently carbonated, medium body.
O - Overall, this was an interesting IPA. While all the hopes individually are solid, mixed all together things get a bit jumbled/messy. Pleasant, but, doesn't really hold a candle to some of their other IPAs.

Growler filled a few days ago, pours a huge fluffy creamy 2 finger head that fades semi slowly, lots of lacing, murky tangerine orange color.
Nose is all over with hops, not the bright citrus and tropical I expected, a musty dank resin with grape skin and vinous notes, floral dandelion like flowers and grass field, a bit earthy, a light green tea, and mild sweet wheat like grassy malt aroma.Mild fruits add it warms, weird tropical fruits though.
Taste brings lots of Belgian yeast like esters , fruity aromas that seem like esters but may just be a product of the hops, hard to tell, (actually the more I drink the more it just seems like fruity hops, like fruity bubblegum and generic fruity flavors from the hops). Grassy grainy toasty light malt and a little wheat like, but dry. Then big time hops, earthy spicy at first with mild dank resin, then tons of grapefruit washes over, grapefruit juice and rind, with light tropical fruit flavors. The spicy hop and rind flavors bury the fruity esters or generic fruity flavors from before. Finish is dry and quite bitter, spicy chewy hops lingering, with lots more grapefruit, citrus rind, little dank resin.
Mouth is med bod, mild fluffy creamy, decent carb.
Overall mixed, quite interesting, nose was weird and all over the place, taste was quite enjoyable but wish the light fruity flavors continued and weren't smashed by the bitter spicy hops, but don't get me wrong, the hops are pretty nice all around, but those initial fruity flavors that were like Belgian esters and fruity bubblegum were quite nice.
