Well here is yet another gem from Slice. 1st tier world class stuff in a saturated market and style. Hats off.

Pours a brilliant golden color with ample clarity. Considering the amount of hops packed in here, quite the feat. Poured into a Nevada Wolfpack pint glass, makes 1/2" white head. The aroma drips of Nelson diesel and weed dankness, hit me with some onion rings and garlic as well. Funky Summit via Nelson hops. Mosaic gives it a more friendly fruit approach, light tropical berries if that's a thing.

The taste is classic west coast double ipa with the best of the best proprietary hops and a minimalistic malt bill to give the best imbalanced purposely swell of hoppiness throughout the drinking experience. Excellent crisp end, should mention Simcoe gives this a just right amount of bitterness all the way. Its a cool mix of going from diesel gooseberry to the crisp icy pine needles helping dry up the back end. The beer does everything in an excellent way and even has better than expected shelf life. I mean you know, don't age it, but one lingered in the back of the fridge and was still awesome.

Vivid champagne gold appearance. Rising emoticon carbonation settles beneath a finger of ivory white head that retains fittingly throughout the enjoyment. Aromas of biscuity malt, blunt ashes, grapefruit, melon, peppercorn, and pine. Taste follows w/ bitterness announcing its presence from beginning to finish. I call this a win. Subtle hints of grape and orange peel. Perfect carbonation, and dry, residual finish. Thank you.
