Not the usual over-the-top flavors from the brewer.
A mixed bag.
Nice look, very clear golden color with a 4F head,
MF is excellent-piney, lightly viscous.
The aroma is faint pine and fruit.
The taste has hints of citrus.
Not the best from the brewer.

Thanks to Andrew for sending this beauty. Poured from fridge temp into a teku. Pours a nice murky orange with a good amount of white head. Nose is bursting with fruity hops, citrus peel, damp leather, caramel corn, pineapple, and a touch of coconut. Maybe I'm just transported to the tropics and that immediately brings me to coconut. Regardless, it's a wonderful note.
Taste: Wow. Not overly hoppy. Sweet candy, toffee, banana, pineapple, leather, a touch of spice (maybe pepper?), wet grass, and a little bit of walnut flavors. This is very different from most DIPAs that I've tried. This is really smooth and not sharp around the edges.
Mouthfeel and overall: Light and crisp on the feel. Lovely to drink. Overall, this is one of my favorite double IPAs. More approachable and the flavors are diverse. Love it!

Had on tap. Pours clear gold in color with minimal head. Taste is tangerine orange and guava. Light bodied, slightly bitter with moderate carbonation. Really tasty citrusy beer.

On-tap 1/14/2017 at Pizza J’s in Providence, RI, served in a tulip glass.
A: The beer is a deep gold color, with a large dense off-white head that fades slowly and leaves a very thick lace on the glass.
S: The aroma contains floral hops, fruity citrus and caramelized malts.
T: The taste starts out sweet with flavors of citrus and caramel. Then a strong but not over-powering piney hops bitterness comes in. The malt character is hearty but not too heavy and brings a good balance. The after-taste is slightly hoppy and slightly sweet.
M: Crisp and smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.
O: Very tasty, goes down quite easily, not too filling, good kick, very good representation of style, this is a very good 2IPA to drink for a long time.

L - one of the most crystal clear beers I've ever laid my eyes on. It's beautiful. Deep, resonating gold. Grade A maple syrup.
S - fresh piney hops. Crackery spicy mosaic and overripe bananas. Tropical.
T - sweet candied papayas and orange. Peach and passionfruit. Spicy and peppery in classic Beer'd fashion. Mild vinous character.
F - high ABV gives it a slick, greasy mouthfeel with a soft and supple, yet robust, creaminess.
O - elegant and rich. Packed to the brim with flavors. Makes me feel fancy like I'm drinking a wine or something.
