Bought at Liquor Shed. Served at cellar temperature.

It pours a lightly hazy gold with an abundance of foam with sheets of nice lacing.

The smell is of pine, grapefruit, and plenty of caramel malt for balance.

Pine, grapefruit bitterness with some onion/dank flavours but again, an assertive caramel malt sweetness for some balance. Hops still win out though.

Good mouthfeel, good Imperial IPA. Comes in 4pack cans.

12oz can. Poured out a cloudy, golden yellow color. Nice foamy head.It smelled of citrus and pine. Tasty tropical fruit flavors up front. Nice piney bitterness with some caramel maltiness in the back.

Poured into a Wichita Brewing can glass.

Look: Cloudy murky Canteloupe Burnt Orange (Crayola idea) with a rocky, sudsy, frothy, sea foam head between white and cream color. Thick foamy lines of lacing stick to the glass. Impressing looking beer.

Aroma: Cedar wood and some spiciness is apparent. There's some light pepper and green tea earthiness in there as well.

Taste: Pine wood, cedar most notably. Heavy malt bill with subtle syrupy sweetness.. Grapefruit rind comes in eventually with a sticky, bitter finish.

Mouthfeel: Heavy.

Overall: I like it's little brother V6 much better. This one seems heavy on the lumber.
