Pours a dark amber/orange color with an average head. Aroma is tropical citrus & sweetness. Taste is similar with an aged flavor (BOD 6-5-2023) and a little alcohol & sweet malt. Decent beer

12oz can from Brewers Haven. Clear golden pour, resilient white foamy head, streaky lacing. Malty aroma with some citrusy hops in the back. Taste is orange peel, pine, toasty malts. Hoppy, but not as much as you would think for a DIPA.

12oz can, canned two months ago.
Color is an amber-orange, mostly clear, nice 1-2 finger head. Smell is initially strong hops, followed by malt.
Carbonation is relatively light. Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy, very well done double and definitely tastes like an imperial. Not too bitter surprisingly. No strong fruity notes, just hops and hoppy citrus flavor with a malty finish. Very little alcohol taste/burn for 8.5%.
I would honestly buy this again. I'm not a huge fan of doubles but this is solid.

On-tap in Boise, served in a pint nonic, clear sunset copper with a small white cap. Malty, grassy, caramel, piney, earthy, with a minor noticeable twinge of booze. Balanced and old school without much bitterness to speak of. Fairly easy to drink and enjoy.

The standard caramel and dark copper color for a dipa. Good hop aroma, C hops in the house.
Taste dropped ample bitterness. Plenty of caramel, decent green leaf kind of hoppiness. The Cascade hops have a good shelf life compared to the proprietary aroma hops, so this holds steady like the awesome rock band.
Its pretty standard bomber fare. Overpriced compared to other 12 oz bottles of dipa, but at the same time, probably slightly below cost for bomber. Either way, its the standard kind of stuff, I will say it hides the alcohol pretty well.

22 Oz bottle. No bottling info
Pours a burnt orange body that is nearly clear, White head has some retention. Lots of thick lacing
Smell is not very prominent, I'm mainly getting malt
Taste is interesting . A peach malt sweetness along with a dark chocolate bitterness that I noticed at the finish. Slightly boozy
Medium to full feel. Not a lot of carbonation
A nice little DIPA
