12oz bottle. Poured out a clear, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of foam. It smelled of citrus, grapefruit and toasted caramel. Tasted of citrus and toasted caramel with a sharp piney bitterness.

Pours a nice foggy golden color. Trace amounts of white head on the pour. The smell is loaded with orange and clementine aroma. The taste is very pine centered. Moderate carbonation leads way to a smooth feel going down and it leaves a nice after taste.
= Overall a decent DIPA. Not something I would search out but with most DIPAs. I'm satisfied.

S: medium hop aromas of grass and resin, medium low malt aromas and low to no yeast aromas.
L: It pours copper amber with a very slight haze as streams of bubbles quickly rise to the top to help sustain a 1.5" lacy, off-white foam cap with moderate retention.
T: Moderate malt flavors with a mild sweetness, citrus and tropical fruit lead the flavors with a moderate finishing bitterness. The bitterness has a citrus rind taste that balances very well with the malt sweetness. As the beer warms, mild tangerine flavors come forward.
F: The body is a little under medium, the carbonation is medium and the beer is mildly warming.

Picked up a single from TW Arrowhead on 11-13-16 for $1.79. Bottled on 8-19-16; received at TW 10-3-16 - refrigerated since purchase.
Beer poured gold with a nice white head that is leaving lacing behind.
Nose is a generous amount of citrus.
Taste is citrus, some pine, and a touch of mango that is pretty well balanced with the malt backbone.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, fairly smooth and refreshing.
Overall a solid brew, one that i would love to have fresher!

L- Pours a slightly hazy, golden orange with a thin, soapy head and little lacing.
S- Nice citrus hop smell with malty backing. Orange, mango, grapefruit.
T- More pine hop than expected. Citrus shows up as well. A little funk to the party. Mango prevalent.
F- Smooth and creamy for a dipa.
O- Nice DIPA, but nothing really outstanding. Good balance.
