Poured from a bottle into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a clear golden amber color with a two finger head of fluffy white foam. The head has a good level of retention, slowly fading over time to leave tons of streaky lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma of the brew is rather dank overall with a high level of herbal and earthy hops. Along with these aromas comes a bit of a grapefruit citrus as well as a bready and malty smell. All this is rounded out by a little bit of toast and hay, giving a rather heavy IPA aroma to the brew.
Taste – The taste begins with a with a very heavy and thick caramel and bready malt taste that has a little bit of a tropical fruit flavor of tangerine and papaya. Upfront there is also the dank hop that was detected in the nose with a decent showing of some herbal and grassy tastes. The fruit that was upfront fades fast, being replaced by a bit of more caramel sweetness and even more hop. The hop that comes is mostly of more herbal hop, but it is joined by a touch of grapefruit and some nice pine hop flavors. Toward the end the maltiness seems to match pace with the increase in the hop, all while a little bit of an alcohol burn becomes more noticeable, leaving one with a rather dank and heavy malt taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is thick and chewy with a carbonation level that is rather average. For the robust and heavy dank hop and malty nature of the brew the feel is rather well done, and makes this one a slow sipper indeed.
Overall – A big malty and dank brew with a bit of a sweeter side and a little hit of booziness. A rather nice slow sipping warmer overall and one I would likely come back to again.

Pours a hazy/ cloudy caramel-deep tan colored body.
Smells like a malt and piney hop-bomb.
Early on taste is caramel/ toffee malts, and then the hop bitterness rams right through.
Feels medium-chewy, smooth carbonation.
It's not that bad to sip through a half a bottle, but after that it just feels gritty, and I'm conflicted with how the malt plays into this. It's tasty and then comes off as nearly cloying. It's a big beer after all, but I'm not sure I'd give this one a go again.
I can see why this one could have people split.

Slightly opaque medium amber (12) pour with tight white head; quick cap reduction; pretty good lacing. Caramel malt and fresh hops nose. Semi sweet caramel malt and bitter hops flavors; lite citrus on the back end. Medium lite, slightly creamy mouthfeel; moderate carbonation; some warmth from the alcohol. Overall the malt more than offset the bitter hops; enjoyable DIPA.

Pours like apple juice, as far as color goes. It has a decent head, not overwhelming. Doesn’t lat long. Some lacing as you swirl, but not a lot.
Aroma is meh. First glass was terrible. Second glass isn’t quite so bad. I smell corn, maybe some cooked vegetables (again, corn). Maybe a little breadiness. Bubble gum. I’m not impressed. It has less of an aroma than say, Budweiser.
Taste is pretty sweet. Again first glass was not so good, second glass isn’t quite so terrible. It’s hoppy, but pretty smooth. It’s pretty strong. I’m not sure about taste.
Mouthfeel is very mixed. First glass, it made my mouth numb. Second glass, mouth went numb again, but not so much. It’s harsh, but that’s about all.
Overall, you should probably drink it straight it from the bottle. The more I drink it, the less I like it. But for now, as I drink it at the moment, it’s not great. I don't like the price. I don’t really like it. If you’re looking for a good DIPA please do yourself a favor and try something else, at this point I would rather drink a fine malt liquor=old english?
