A storm of hop flavor and aroma from ridiculously large late hop and dry hop additions. Medium body and unique with a lot of tropical, citrus, and melon hop aroma.

Poured from the tap at the New Oberpfalz taproot in Griffith IN. The beer is a clear orange color with a foamy off-white head.
Smell is citrus rind with some biscuity malt in there. Honey. Some dankness.
Taste is heavily hoppy with citrus, floral, and earth. Bready malt and honey in the midpalate. Finishes slightly drying with a bit of rind again. Balanced.
Overall a very solid brew. Drinkable and smooth. Balanced but full of flavor.

On tap at AJ's Pizza Shack in Chesterton served in a 10oz. snifter.
Look- A brilliant transparent gold with a few centimeters of white foam.
Smell- Grapefruit, pine, malt and cheesy yeast.
Taste- Grapefruit, floral, some pine and a healthy dose of malt in the finish.
Feel- Crisp, clean and easy drinking for a beer over 8 percent.
Overall- My first beer from this brewery and it was good enough that I want to sample more from them. A well balanced crisp DIPA that could pass for a hoppy lager with some kick.

It's been a decent amount of time since I've had this beer, but I do remember it being very good. I'm not going to break this one down as I don't have enough information to do a proper review.
Two things. First, if you get a chance to try this beer, do so. I remember it have a fruity note to it which was refreshing. Second, you will not be disappointed by this beer. It's one of their most popular beers in my opinion. Get out there to New Oberpfalz and do some exploring. As always, enjoy responsibly!
