L: golden orange color with a nice head and good lacing
S: Tons of floral and juicy tropical fruit notes.
T: citrus fruits with some bready maltyness and decent hop bitterness. A lot less juicy than typical Commonwealth DIPAs
F: Medium body and carbonation
O: A decent Double ipa, but not one I'd buy again. Not sure if it's the styrian wolf hops since that is new tobme but something is a bit off.

L: Poured from a tallboy can to a snifter glass. Had a yellow / orange color and a very cloudy consistency. There was a half inch of foamy, somewhat long-lasting head. Above average lacing.
S: A very nice aroma of hops, tropical fruit, citrus fruit, a floral quality, and malt.
T: Tasted of a good shot of tropical fruit (mango, passionfruit), a small amount of malt (mostly in the finish), a lot of hops (a big force, but not obnoxiously so), a mild floral quality, and some citrus fruit (orange). A focused and quite well-balanced flavor. It's pretty hoppy, but the fruit elements cut into the bitterness quite well.
F: A fair amount of carbonation with a smooth finish. Medium-bodied.
O: Another solidly made DIPA from Commonwealth. Drinkable.
