look: 3.75 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.25
Poured from 750 mL bottle into pint glass.
A: Pours a hazy/dark golden yellow with 1/4 inch white head that quickly fades.
S: Pine resin, caramel malt, and hints of citrus.
T: Loads of caramel malt (too much) with pine resin. Off balance
M: Medium body. Loads of caramel malt makes this too sweet.
D: Not enough hops and too much malt. Was excited to try this one, but left disappointed.

Pours a fairly clear golden color. There was decent head when they poured it into the glass, but they kept filling and most of it washed down the drain. What was left was white, and had decent retention. Some lacing on the glass.
Nose was quite strong with citrus. I got mango and grapefruit from it.
Taste - Up front it has the citrus - Mango and grapefruit that turns into, on the backside, more of a pine flavor.
The hops really cling all the way down and don't let go at all. The body is decent for a 2xIPA.
Well constructed double IPA, and it was fun to drink.
