Bottle. Cloudy golden amber pour with a thick off-white head. Some pine, resinous notes, along with a bit of tropical fruit. Pretty simple, decently balanced, overall quite drinkable but pretty average DIPA.
Pours copper with a good, foamy head. Aroma has a little pine but loads of sweet malt, sickly sweet smelling though. Taste is the same, too sickly sweet with just a hint of bitterness. Not great but OK
On draft. Since this was on nitro the IPA was incredibly smooth. It drank more like a light pale ale than a 8% double IPA. Had a nice balance of hops to malt. Would totally drink this again.
Amber body off white head. Pine aroma. Semi bitter not too but complex but not a bad double IPA
Bottle, 650 ml from Pivoteka. Courtesy of JFK10000. Shared with him and Miro. Pours hazy yellow, lasting large white head. Intensive hops. Fruity, floral, peppery, citrus. Lively carbonation. Moderate sweetness with lasting heavy bitter finish. Medium bodied.
Can from Clink Beer, Birmingham. Bright yellow colour. Smells a bit like a loose, baggy US wheat beer. Acrid paper. Hops are flabby, orange jelly, paddling pool. Boozy, without being super tasty. Ok.
Canned. (thanks MT). Goldeny orange colour with a small white head. Aroma is fruity, floral, resiny some mild spruce and wood to it along with some sweet malts. Flavour is fruity and floral, rather bitter with some slight bready malts, toffee and mild ryelike notes. Hides the alcohol well.
Aroma:
Medium/heavy aroma of malts, caramel, orange, pine, hops and citrus.
Appearance:
Turbid/opaque yellow/golden beer with a slight/medium off-white head.
Taste/Palate:
Starts medium sweet with malts, caramel, orange and pine; ends slightly bitter and medium dry with hops and citrus.
Overall:
This beer is rather intense, complex and balanced. The aroma is intense and inviting, while the flavour is less intense. Thanks to the the bitter and dry finish, the flavour is more complex and has a nice balance.
Can: Munky orange color, low white head. Aroma is intensive with candy and malt sweetness notes, pine, oranges , grapefruit peel, hints of herbs. Flavor has more pine and herb notes, fruitiness of oranges, herbal bitter finish. Good but I liked the Aroma more then the quite herbal bitter flavor.
Can at home. Hazy golden pour, thin white head. Aroma of fruity hops, resin, somewhat floral, rye, sugary malts and some pine. Flavor is quite fruity bitter hops, sweet malts and with a thick rye body. Nice balance.
Opaque golden yellow, white lacing foam head. Nice hoopy aroma, bitter taste with citrus and clover notes. Lasting aftertaste. (Nijmegen 201605)

A quite nice IPA. Pours a bright cloudy orange with a thick white head. Light smell, a bit of tropical fruit. Taste is very fruity upfront, with peach, pineapple and mandarin orange. Slightly hoppy finish. Had on tap at Marcos Cafe.
Yeehaw, Oregonian Eepa!! Nachos with bacon bits really sits in the guy I tell you. But this stuff, oh this stuff, it’s got this very niice white head with good density and a foggy copper body. A little finesse to the overhopped aroma with just a hint of hazelnut to make it interesting. Flavour is crisp and hoppy; no nasty alcohol in the mix despite the high number. Very well done, tasty. Kind of a pamplemousse back end, and that’s interesting too.
Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a small white head. Has a fruity grapefruit hoppy aroma. Fruity malty grapefruit hoppy bitter flavor. Has a fruity malty grapefruit hoppy bitter finish.
