Bought a 32 ounce Growler at Liquor Shed in Casper.
It pours a hazy ish orange gold with a small and receding head of foam, a little bit of lacing.
Initial smell is pine followed by light pitted fruits. The malt is strong and sweet, I'm guessing that is making it smell boozy.
The taste is pine but that gets overwhelmed by fruity notes of citrus and boozy sweet malt. Even has a semi tropical note or 2.
Mouthfeel is fine. In one word, I would describe this as sharp.

A:
Pours a murky orange-brown-amber with a middling head that evaporates to a patchy ring but is easily roused to a creamy beige cap. Meh retention; dotted lines and speckles of lacing. (3.75)
S:
Caramel, sweet hops. Juicy citrus (tangerine, mango) with some pine, caramel, citrus pith, herbal almost-licorice bitter spike at the end, toffee, bread. (3.5)
T:
Juicy hops and butterscotch. Juicy oranges, guava, toffee, oily citrus rind, green hops, slightly vegetal taste in finish. (4)
M:
Soft, creamy and wonderful, with tiny bubbles, medium body, lingering resiny aftertaste and citrus aroma in the nose. (4.25)
O:
Very good DIPA for what it is.
This is a tasty beer, but it is definitely not what I was expecting. There is a relatively big malt presence, but this is kind of magnified by the soft sweetness from the hops.
Pours okay enough with a softly sweet nose of caramel and peaches. The flavor follows suit, only hinting at bitterness with a resinous touch at the end. It is pretty drinkable considering the ABV, with a soft creamy feel to it.
This is along the lines of an English IPA to my tastes, but a lot of this comes from the hop characteristics being much sweeter than in a lot of American DIPAs.
Might have again; worth a shot if you're ever through Laramie. (3.75)
