330ml bottle, poured into Stone Snifter.
A: Pale golden, clear, medium head which didn't hang around.
S: Went high with the citrus hops.
T: Mango, lime, peach, tropical fruits, did a very good job of hiding the booze.
M: Crisp texture, light body for the high abv.
O: Very nice, kept a degree of hoppy subtleness, some DIPAs turn into sweet boozy malt bombs, but not this one.

Pours a slightly cloudy peach coloration with a small, fizzy head. Smell is very tropical, dominated by pineapple and with hints of mango and tangerine. Taste follows the nose, being quite hoppy and dominated by pineapple, but there is some bready, caramel malt and hints of mango and tangerine too, as well as a light bubble gum note. Finishes with a light bitterness and a light booziness coming through. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

This is probably the most pineapple-forward IPA I've ever had, which brings a certain sweetness with it. Has a light booziness to it that really comes out in the aftertaste, but really not too bad for 9.5% ABV. Pretty nice DIPA for the price point, especially if you like pineapple.
