A: pale golden amber color, with s huge white head.
S: caramel, with loads of pine and a hint of grapefruit.
T: moderate bitterness with caramel and malt flavors balancing out. Resinous pine and grapefruit gone out from the hops.
M: medium thick mouthfeel, fairly high carbonation and a hint of carbonic bite.
O: a fine iipa, definitely feels now like an old school East coast iipa. Pine bitterness and a balance between malt and sweet. A few years ago is be digging this like crazy, but in today's market it feels a little dated.

Don't let your head swell, Legend, but this beer reminds me a bit of DFH 90 minute IPA. deep golden in color with minimal head, the taste is a good balance of malt and hops and the alcohol is not too overpowering. Complexity is ok and finish is malty. A little deeper complexity would have helped, but overall, a really nice beer !

Pleasantly surprised at the crisp rusty amber body. Fuzzy off white head that retains at about half a finger. Incredibly crisp and clear and gorgeous as a throwback to yesteryear.
Nose likewise harkens back to classic west coast notes of coniferocity and caramel. Maybe a little sweet in the spruce/fir tip vein of sweetness, but overall I dig it.
Flavour is good if a little thin. Simple straightforward old school DIPA, but watered down a bit. Grains and bright piney hops. Some caramel and back to the earthy piney hop finish. Refreshing return.
Thin watery body is easily the weakest link of the brew as a whole. Bright carbonation and a pleasant hoppy finish.
Thanks @gopens44 for sending this along, It's a nice little throwback.

Not a lot of head, what does erupt is mostly a thin beige layer that falls back to fizz top and spotty lace. Nose is immediately bright with tangerine and honey but it’s a relatively thin nose. Taste is quite similar with a good up front sweet tangerine that turns into a big earthy bitter before a little caramel steps in to offer some decent balance. Medium bodied beer finishes a little watery while leaving a ton of gritty bitterness behind.
