Poured from 22 oz bottle into tulip glass. Nice dark copper colour with a tan head, a lot darker than some DIPA's. Nice looking beer. Smells both hoppy and malty with subtle fruits, very nice. I like the taste, much like the aroma but with a banana undertaste. Great mouthfeel. I liked this one a lot. Prost!

Tasted in a Rastal Teku from a 12 fl oz can on August 6, 2018. Brewed with Pacific Northwest hops. A nice balance of hop and clean malt flavors. Initially crisp with a slightly dry finish.

On tap. Poured a clear, golden orange color with a tan head of foam. It smelled of citrus, grapefruit, pine and sweet caramel. It tasted bitter and piney with sweet toasted caramel and citrus.

Drank straight from the 12 ounce can. Nose is C-hops, citrus and a little booze. Taste is firmly bitter, pithy grapefruit, crisp finish. An old-school throwback of an IPA, but it was a nice break from murky juice bombs.

22 oz. bottle:

Pours slightly hazed copper-tinted orange/amber with a lasting creamy head. Lacing sticks.

The smell is of a burst of fresh tropical fruits with a piney spice touch. Some grain mixes in.

The taste is of tropical fruits (mango/papaya, with a touch of banana) and some citrus (orange) and a touch of pine. Caramelized grain balances it. Bitter-leaning finish. Alcohol well-hidden.

Silky. A very approachable DIPA. Smooth. Tropical fruit notes from the hops stand out and linger. Sweet malt balances the bitterness while keeping it bitter-leaning. A very nice DIPA.
