So much dankness, delicious! Hides the 8.7 very well. Maybe a bit on the thinner side, murky orange bronze 1 finger of head left ringed and sheeting lacing. If you don't enjoy dank big IPAs, you won't like this...but I found it quite tasty.

This beer is so over the top, starting from it's description on the brewery menu, that it actually stung my throat on the way down. I've had plenty of imperial IPAs, but this one is so hopped up that it crosses beyond a point I found enjoyable.

Tulip at the brewery
A: Hazy, pale yellow, thin head
S: Pine, tropical fruit, citrus
T: Pineapple, orange, malt, a hint of pine
M: Medium-bodied, crisp
O: They don’t call it NE style but it seems like one- and well done from a west coast brewer

Served in a tulip glass at HDBC in san diego. Looks like pineapple juice. Smells like pineapple juice. But holy hell if this doesnt taste like a perfected dipa. Taste is citrus hops for sure but definitely subdued and well balanced. Mouthfeel is crazy light for a near 9% ale. Well done.
