The look is still the beer's weak point. The head is actually quite weak and the carbonation only fair. The aroma does smell of fresh floral and pine and resinous notes. The mouthfeel is all full and rich, carrying much of the same characteristics of my first experience.
So, no change in the appearance score or the taste (which remains outstanding), and the smell and mouthfeel plus the overall get bumped up a bit.
------------------------
Clear, bright gold body; lively carbonation; decent white head; splotches of foam adheres to the glass. Dank, resinous and vinous smell. Lightly sweet malt base with a resinous hop bitterness; pine-like and bracing; mild booziness. Medium body; soft residual sugar body; sticky; prominent alcohol dryness mid-way through the sip and lingering long into the finish.
Per the brewery's menu, the IBUs clock in at 100+. I believe it. The bitterness overrides the strong alcohol presence while the base malt adds some offsetting value to the entire beer. This is a good high octane beer. It doesn't quite measure up to other well-known (and deservedly appreciated) west coast styled double IPAs, but this is one to try if you're looking for an old-school hop bitterness tongue-ripper.
