Blend of Bravo, Mandarina Bavaria, Chinook, Centennial, and Cascade hops. Sturdy malt backbone balances the hop bitterness and heavy citrus hop character. Overall flavor reminiscent of orange marmalade with a subtle heat on the finish of this DIPA.

Apparently the status is NOT “Retired”.
Enjoying this one on draught. A deep gold colored pour with high clarity, a decent head, and substantial splotches of it lacing.
The flavor is an Imperial level of maltiness, paired with substantial 100 IBUs of hops bitterness in attempt to balance. There is a fairly strong citrus flavor on the profile as well. The orange and tangerine are a nice accompaniment.
The 9.4% ABV is not as boozy as anticipated.
A very good Imperial IPA.

Drinking in a large snifter.
Pours a clear, dark orange with a full white head.
Smells some of resin.
Good mouth feel.
Some malt coming through a bit of sweetness.
Some bitterness. Some pine suggestion.

Been a while since I've tried a new Atlas beer. Strong pour, with a lasting head. Nose is fresh and vaguely hoppy but not too strong. Flavor is boozy with heavy pine resin and citrus. This one grew on me but definitely packs a wallop with that abv.

Can pour so can’t speak to the appearance.
Mixed citrus fruit notes, hop oil, malty nose and taste. Creamy moderately carbonated mouthfeel. Refreshing and enjoyable!

Deep gold, nice off-white head, great retention and lacing
Strong aroma of mandarin orange. Hints of other things, but nothing else really stands out.
Big orange flavor, some herbal notes, light malt flavor, long bitter finish
Medium bodied and appropriately carbonated, a little hot, but not surprising at 9.4%

From the can, it pours a clear darker amber with a nice off-white head that slowly reduces. In the nose, it is piney and citrusy. In the mouth, it is resinous, slightly bitter and malty. Decent.

Pours a golden amber with a small head. The smell is subtle hints of hops and citrus for an imperial. Taste is strong on the chinook hops with some cascade in there. Sits easy for an imperial, too.
