650 ML bottle poured into an IPA glass, sent by a buddy of mine who works with the brewery. Big shout outs!
Look: Deep amber color with orange hues when held up to light. Super pretty beer. Thick foamy head that dissipates slowly, about a finger.
Smell: West coast smell, very piney. Dank with a slight alcohol burn at the end. Very apropos of the style.
Taste: Brings out all of the smells to the tongue. Pine with a tinge of alcohol. There isn't much malt presence, but there is a clean aftertaste that cascades with the hops. The level of hoppyness is pretty perfect, makes you know you're drinking a DIPA, but keeps it drinkable. The hops increase as the beer warms and the head dissipates. A heat is left in your stomach as you drink, which is nice. Pretty sticky mouthfeel and lots of resin. Lots of nice lacing as well.
Feel: Pretty thick and resiny, nice and chewy.
Overall: A really nice representation of the West Coast IPA style, with enough of a hop punch and alcohol presence to keep you interested. I recommend if you are feeling a bomber of something unique. Good stuff!
