Poured into a Duvel tulip.
A- Pours a hazy medium amber color with two fingers of off-white head that retain well before slowly reducing to a thick ring around the edge of the glass and a large bump of surface foam in the center.
S- Peach, mango and guava come to mind when inhaling the bouquet.
T- Juicy peach and tangerine nectar come to mind with a grassy resinous following. Very easy to drink with a medium bitterness to keep things interesting.
M- Somewhat tangy with medium carbonation and a body leaning toward the lighter side.
O- Plenty of fruit flavor accompanied with a nice bitterness. It's been a while since I've had Whirlpool, but I think I prefer that to this. Either way, tasty stuff.

Look - deep gold in color, very nice, soapy head that dissipates but remains a finger thick throughout. Hazy, but not as much as some. Light passes through, you can see the bubbles rising. Really attractive carbonation, actually. No particulates.
S - Pine predominates. Then I get some onion, and finally a hint of some kind of citrus, lemon or orange, but that's much weaker. Not the strongest nose, but pleasant
T - reverse of the nose. You get the juiciness first (though it's not extremely juicy, IMO) then the pine. Bitter bite to the finish. Finishes quite dry.
F - Good? Perfectly carbonated, it's got some body to it.
O - A really nice beer I like it, but I also can't help feeling it could be a little more. Enjoyed it and I'd buy it again but it didn't quite knock it ouf of the park for me. Eh, a second can could change my opinion, LOL. It's pretty solid.

This beer is bright, sessionable, and packed with juicy flavors. Orange, clementine, candied grapefruit peel, and a hint of lemon/lime. So juicy and crushable.

Another 2016 Morph, another killer beer. I get a fairly muted nose with light citrus - orange and lemon zest - and lots of pine needles. Big taste of pine resin, sap, spruce tips, orange, mandarin orange, grapefruit and some lime. Bit of tea and tobacco hovering in the background. Nice bitter finish with a sticky mouthfeel. Outstanding beer - to me it's a great example of an OG west coast IPA.

The best Morph incarnation yet. Very nice dankness throughout. Drank from the can but still got grapefruit hints from floral notes. Little bitter finish, overall excellent IPA.

Drank on 6/10/16; much more traditional IPA than I am used to these days in these parts
