Slightly hazy, amber color. Big, yellowish head. The aroma of malt, caramel, and pine. Malt dominates in the beginning then gives way to strong hoppy bitterness. Heavy, full body.

Outstanding. One of my top ten. Told the manager at Ganlys to always keep this on hand. Wish I had a second but at 10% ABV, I only had one since I was driving.

Poured from 12 oz can dated 1/21/2016 into snifter.
Can says Imperial India Pale Ale versus Industrial, but based on other comments, I think this is the right entry for the review.
A: Somewhat cloudy golden orange with 1 finger white head that settled to a thin ring around the edge after a minute or two and leaving some moderate lacing.
S; Bready malts and candied oranges mixed with a punch of piney hops.
T: Sweet tangerines, mango, and biscuit malts balanced with piney bitterness. ABV is apparent but seems bring something to the table.
M: Medium to full body with fairly light carbonation. Finish features some hop bitterness and alcohol heat.
O: Very unique DIPA. My first brew from Kelso, and hopefully I will get the opportunity to try more from these guys!
