Decanted bottle into belgian tulip...date not present...guy at brewery stated approx 8.8 abv...abv not listed on bottle...

A: nice frothy 1/2 inch head that's hanging around...a dark ruby nearly brown in low light...

S: Absolutely no hop aroma...an almost wine like smell...a little boozy...no malt character in the nose...very bland on the aroma side.

T: Super sweet...very little bitterness until the very end and its not pleasant...this is so fruity tasting you might think its a fruit beer...

M: negligible...maybe a little watery for the style...low carbonation...not bad...

Overall:
Not sure what to think of this...the phrase "there is no such thing as a bad brew, only a bad brewer" comes to mind...this is not...repeat not a DIPA in any sense of the name...its more of a low abv barley wine or a very un-hopped imperial red/amber ale...its super fruity, unbalanced, and virtually no hop character, which makes it cloyingly sweet and unenjoyable. If it was labeled as a barley wine I might have rated higher...but still would not have enjoyed. If you see it on tap, and its fresh, try it, but you've been warned. Cheers!
