A little bit more than a finger worth of frothy off white colored head that goes over the top of the glass but holds perfect and doesn't spill over. Great retention. Beer isn't see through but it's not necessarily hazy.
Smell is funky. Not like a Belgian funk. Like a musty funk.
Taste follows the nose with the musty funkiness and some sweetness.
Overall, I would totally believe them if they said this was a Belgian IPA because of the funk in it. It's not quite a Belgian funk but it reminds me of it.

Sweet candy and dank resinous juicy hops in the smell. Looks bright golden and a bit muddled. Slight head and sticky. Taste is much as the smell with resinous fresh prickly hops. The sweet and piney fresh hops meld together very well. Alcohol hidden extremely well. I have had quite a few from this brewery and they always were good but not great. This one knocks it out of the park for me! It's a small brewery with very high potential going forward. They are figuring it out and Brewing these beers fantastically well. This double keeps me coming back for more.

Look: pours hazy with a soft orange hue. Mild light white head with a lingering lacing
Smell: very tropical and sweet with hints of citrus and resin
Taste: wants to follow the smell, but the bitterness overtakes the beer once it hits the tongue and doesn't release you. The messy bitterness sticks around long after each sip is gone. I found it very distracting
Feel: very mild carbonation, nice and silky
Overall: the bitterness overtook the beer for me. It definitely had potential, but it lost me in its quest for 100 ibus

Poured into a tall tulip style holiday glass not sure when it was canned, but judging my trade partner @jzeilinger I trust it is fresh. Pours a dark orange with some haze, with a sticky white head that leaves behind a wall of lace.
Smell is mellon, mango, papaya, peach, a little cannabis, and grapefruit.
Taste follows tropical fruit start to finish with dank marijuana and grapefruit in a fairly bitter finish.
Mouthfeel is a solid medium, kind of sticky from all the fresh hops, nice amount of life, maybe a touch dry, and excellent drinkability.
Overall this is a very nice DIPA, reminds of Knee Deep Lulipin River.

A - Dark copper color with minimal carbonation and a dense thick, creamy lacing ring.
S - Juicy fruit, tropical candy, and sweet malt.
T - Juicy tropical fruit from start to finish, tropical fruit skin, some peppery spice, and a lingering bittersweet finish. Fruity and resiny.
M - Medium body that's borderline medium heavy.
O - This one is totally under the radar and a solid D-IPA from this nano.
