Pours a hazy orange color with a 1F head and moderate lacing.

Smells of floral, grassy hops with some citrus.

Tastes of lightly tart grapefruit., orange and a bit of pineapple with a lightly bitter finish.

Medium light body with light prickly carbonation. Crisp, dry mouthfeel.

This brew is moderately juicy but tart and bitter in balance overall.

PS So I review off of one or two pours from a can. With pour #2 I find that this can had settled some leaving some of its sweeter stuff in the bottom. It comes out better sweet/bitter balanced and is more tasty for it.

Maybe my particular 4 pack was overly carbonated but this was a near impossible beer to pour and drink. First pour resulted in almost 5 inches of head. Attempted a second then third and same result. Tastes more like a Belgian trippel than double ipa.

 

This beer isnt shattering expectations but it is incredibly drinkable for an 8.6% abv. Bought locally, poured from a can.

L- Copper color, decent head that didn't linger
S- Underwhelming aroma that is vaguely floral
T- Slightly sweet, hints of pine. Not bitter at all and no sour aftertaste.
F- Lightly carbonated extremely easy to drink.

O- Will be buying again. Again, not in my top 5 but surely a drinkable local beer that I enjoyed.

 

 

 

Canned on 7/2/19

Pours a slightly hazy burnished copper orange capped with a huge head of fluffy white foam; spectacular retention trickles down slowly with huge globs of soapy lacing clinging in tow, while some islands of foam make up the cap.

Aroma brings out a big dose of lightly sweet floral citrus to start, with a flaky malt and pineapple/orange zest tone developing quietly.

Taste shows a touch of candied pineapple to go with some fuzzy peach and intermittent doses of strawberry, wheat, flaked malt, and grapefruit peel; a touch of fruity sweetness comes through just as the swallow peaks.

Mouthfeel is subtly bright and lightly prickly, with a smooth medium body and muddled bitterness remaining consistent through to the finish.

Structured nicely all-around, but too toned down to have much of an impact as anything more than a solid DIPA; a definite plus, though: it's ABV does go virtually unnoticed, leaving it at bare minimum incredibly approachable.

 

 

 

Best DIPA I've had to date. Awesome taste with no booziness for a 8.8 percenter. A small brewery that got it right.

 

 

 

A: hazy; deep gold in color; 2 finger ivory head that receded to a wispy cap; nice lacing;

S: grapefruit for a moment, then pineapple;

T: pineapple and caramel from start to finish; mild to moderate bitterness at the end;

M: medium to full bodied; moderate carbonation; moderately dry finish;

O: very enjoyable;

 

 

A similar profile to the Alchemist’s Heady Topper. Excellent hops flavor and subtle sweatness. Strong hoppy, piney aroma and a pungent yet floral taste that remains consistent from start to finish.
