Pours a crystal clear pale golden color with a spongy big head atop.

The aromas on this seem a bit muted and offer faint notes of limes, ripe exotic fruits and lighter toffee.

Has a light and refreshing mouthfeel with a well fitting, lower carbonation level, providing just enough impact on the palate to develop a certain ease and refreshment.

Tastes of resinous caramel, sluggish, lime defined hops and an initial aqueous softness, which I did not expect in a double IPA at all. Develops a prominent, spicy, herb and lime defined bitterness, balancing the noteably sweet malts in this. Finishes with a honeyed sweet peak among danker turning hops, maintaining their bitter impression.

This is a little too simple to justify its Double IPA abv. Its got an old school bitterness, while everything else seems subdued.
