12 ounce handbottle from my friend Scott who brought this back from Colorado with him, poured into a nonic, consumed 1/15, reviewed from notes, color is a cloduy amber with some orange highlights, thin 1/2 inch soapy white head that settles into a fluffy cloud, good retention, some legs on it too, aroma is lots of pine, grassy accents, grains, bread, oranges, oddly grapes, and other not so typical fruits, flavor has a fruitier taste than the smell even, starts off with peaches and citrus, some chewy malt in the middle, finish is slightly dry with some piney accents and faint booze, mouthfeel is fruity, dry, sweet, and a little hot at times, medium to full bodied, low level of carbonation, could not drink much more than this bottle, pretty heavy stuff, alcohol is not hidden well, and some of the flavors seem off, weird variety of fruit, never had a beer from this brewery before and this was not a bad one to start out with, while not the greatest DIPA out there, it was something interesting and different for its style, might drink again, worth trying

I had this one on tap.

Poured a medium and hazy amber color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of woodiness, floral green hops, citrus rinds-peels, and pine. Tastes of orange peels, woody, earthy, and citrus. Alcohol content well hidden. Nicely bitter with a lighter sweetness.
