This was a nice crisp IPA with a good citrus scent and taste. But there was nothing very unique or special about it, so it was ultimately forgettable.

 

Little hazy and very much golden, thin layer of fizz, little els to talk about for looks.

Big dandelion and a bit of garlic in the nose. Taste follows along as dandelion, and a slight garlic lead the way until the high ABV is expressed through a bit of an acetone sort of finish, which speaking of finish, isn't nearly as dry as you'd think based on the not even slightly masked heat. Second run through on the taste provide a bit of sacharin sweetness to accompany the astringent nature of this. As a DIPA, I feel like it hits the marks of what you'd expect, but it's lacking some balance. Nothing bad about it per se, just would have liked to see the flavors act more in harmony with the heat.

 

Pours a yellow-gold color, slightly hazy with minimal head and non-existent lacing. Aroma is full of fresh squeezed orange and pineapple juices. Taste is clean and crisp with flavors of pineapple, fresh oranges and a good amount(but not overwhelming) of hop bitterness. This one finishes real clean, almost too clean.
