22 ounce bottle into tulip glass; no bottle dating, but is a recent release. Pours slightly hazy deep orange/copper color with a 2 finger dense and rocky light khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings around the glass; with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, passion fruit, apricot, papaya, mango, melon, berry, citrus zest, light pepper/pine, caramel, toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with great balance and complexity of juicy citrus/tropical hops and moderate dark/bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, passion fruit, apricot, papaya, mango, melon, berry, citrus zest, light pepper/pine, caramel, toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine/herbal/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, passion fruit, apricot, papaya, mango, melon, berry, citrus zest, light pepper/pine, caramel, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of juicy citrus/tropical hops and moderate dark/bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Light dryness from bitterness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth and moderately creamy/bready/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Minimal warming alcohol for 8.1%. Overall this is a very nice DIPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of juicy citrus/tropical hops and moderate dark/bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.

Reeeally citrusy aroma. Brewed with the Dr. Rudi hop? Either way pretty nice.
