650ml bottle - a 'West Coast Style Sparkly Clear Double IPA', hah! However, they used 'complimented', when they meant 'complemented' on the label - yeah, I'm that guy.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly eggshell white head, which leaves some decent thick tree branch lace around the glass as it slowly sinks away.
It smells of slightly dank pine resin, gritty and grainy caramel malt, muddled domestic citrus rind, a further tropical fruitiness, and more earthy, weedy, and perfumed floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and bready caramel malt, a lesser biscuity toffee sweetness, mild yeasty notes, some orange, white grapefruit, and lemon citrus zest, and more leafy, piney, and floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-satisfying frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and mostly smooth, with just a wee pithiness kind of taunting the ideal here. It finishes off-dry, the base malt more or less holding a higher hand than the lingering hops.
Overall - this one does well to keep its influences to the left coast, relying on citrus, pine, and booze to get its point across. Nothing mind-blowing, to be certain, but easy enough to drink, as the aforementioned wowee sauce notes are kept to a reasonable limit.

On tap at The Alibi Room, served in a 10 oz hourglass. Clear, deep gold with a frothy head of white foam and coating lace. Nose of gently dank pine resin, honey, lemon peel. Taste follows similarly with sweeter citrus (orange) and caramel joining in. Medium body and soft carbonation. Well balanced and tasty, surprisingly unassuming for an 8% ABV hop bomb.

Bottle: Poured a clear golden color ale with a nice pure white foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of citrusy and bitter notes are really dominant. Taste is also dominated by loads of citrusy notes with load of bitter notes with solid malt base. Body is full with good carbonation. Not bad but taste more like one of those early days IIPA with loads of bitterness upfront.

Malty, herbal, heavy handed DIPA with a slightly astringent grainy finish.

Powell St. Brewing 'Right Kinda of Crazy DIPA' @ 9.0% served from a 650 ml bottle purchased for $7
A-pour is gold from the bottle to a clear dark gold in the glass with a smallish white head leaving a streaky lace along the pint
S-hoppy , mostly citrus
T-smooth & crisp tasting DIPA , no wow factor , mellow malt backbone with a dry finish
MF-ok/decent carbonation , feels full bodied , booze is well hidden
Ov-ok beer , slightly dissapointing local DIPA
