look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Clear amber color with a nice creamy off white head that leaves a sticky lacing in my glass. Great citrus aroma, fresh pineapple, grapefruit and caramel flavors. Full bodied with a soft and thick mouthfeel, not syrupy like some of this style, finishes dry and bitter, It is hard to believe this is 8.2% alcohol.

On tap.Poured out a clear, copper color with a small, khaki-colored head of foam. It smelled floral with a good dose of citrus. There was also a toasted caramel aroma.Very malty and sweet. There isn't much in the way of a bitter hop bite, but just a touch of piney bitterness.

Pours a cloudy, amber color. 2/3 inch head of an off-white color. Good retention and great lacing. Smells of strong citrus hops, slight sweet malt, slight alcohol, and slight metallic aroma. Fits the style of an American Double / Imperial IPA. Mouth feel is sharp and crisp, with an average carbonation level. Tastes of citrus hops, hint of butterscotch, hint of pale malt, slight alcohol, and slight metallic. Overall, good appearance, but unpleasant aroma and body.

On tap. Pours a nice amber color with white head and bit of lacing. Aroma of citrus, bit of malt sweetness and boozy. Taste of citrus, bit of caramel sweetness, and grain. Nice bitterness and a fairly clean finish. Medium body, quite crisp with a bit of a boozy feel. Not too bad.

Delicious. The malty backbone provides a solid balance to the citrus of the hops. If you're looking for a hop bomb, this isn't it. If you're looking for a beautifully balances DIPA, you've found it.
