From growler filled today at brewery to Austin Street Teku.
Cloudy amber look; says this is afresh, small-batch double.
Over-ripe orange smell.
Taste of well- balanced tart, ripe, tangy citrus.
Substantial feel of tart fruitty tang.
One of the top New England doubles, up there with Dinner, Heady Topper, Swish , and fresh Epiphany.

Just a beautiful beer - this is like an amped-up Julius. Drank from a growler on 4/2 in an Austin Street Belgian tulip, growler filled about a week ago.

Look - Semi-aggressive pour yielded about an inch of nice white head which gave way to creative think lacing. Color is a pale gold haze.

Smell - Fresh and juicy.

Taste - Juicy and sweet, not bitter at all (except a little when it warmed), no hint of 9% ABV.

Feel - Medium and smooth.

Overall - This is in the same class as Yann Bandana and one of the best I've tasted from Austin Street, in fact one of the best IPAs I've had in the past year. Seriously. 8% - 9% IPAs are definitely their sweet spot. The only reason why I'm not giving it 5s across the board is because I think it somewhat lowers the credibility of the review, but I would if it didn't...! Please bring this one into the rotation somehow!
