12 ounce bottle.Only one month old. Pours a clear golden orange color with a small white head. A light fruity nose. Sweet bready malts initially, sticky sweet hops, toast, lemon and oranges especially. Pretty smooth. Solid, but not anything spectacular.
Thanks to greyman for this bad boy. Pours foggy gold with a nice small white froth. Aroma is a light dank pine and citrus hops. Taste is a nice balance of light malts with a good solid medium dankness and grapefruit hops with some pine mixed in. Great beer.
Draught @ BrewDog Brighton, 52-54 Grand Parade, Brighton, East Sussex, England BN2 9QA.

Pours a bright golden yellow with a foamy white head and plenty of lacing. Bold aroma of light pine, grass, and big juicy citrus. Lightly syrupy body. Starts smooth with a full mouth feel of juicy citrus, herbal grass, and a light bitterness.Smooth warm finish with a nice lingering aftertaste. Not harsh or too bitter. Refreshing and very enjoyable.
12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 6/12/2017. Pours fairly hazy/cloudy medium golden/amber/light orange color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper, pine, cracker, white bread, light honey/caramel, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper, pine, cracker, white bread, light honey/caramel, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, lemon/orange peel, pepper, pine, cracker, white bread, light honey/caramel, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from bitterness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy/sticky, and lightly resinous balanced mouthfeel that is awesome. Zero warming alcohol for 8.3%. Overall this is an amazing DIPA! All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the balanced bitter/drying finish. Extremely vibrant, juicy, and dank hops; with a great malt backbone that is never sweet or heavy feeling. Very smooth and never aggressive on bitterness. A highly enjoyable offering.
As good as it gets for a west coast style DIPA. Pours lighter in color than you’d expect. Easy drinkability. A piney/hopped up Orange Julius!
Fruity aromas, tropical, orangey. Slightly hazy orange with a fairly lasting white head. Juicy, pretty well balanced. Medium-full bodied.
Poured into a tulip, the appearance was a hazy gold color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that had a decent lace after dissipation.
The aroma had some citrus sweet and bitter components, smooth sweet tropical glossing, clean malt, some bitter pine and a light floral pillowy smooth hoppiness.
The flavor was bittersweet and pulling the tropical and citrus tastes into the blend pretty nice. Aftertaste blended well between the malts and hops pretty clean. Finish was just a tad sticky but acceptable.
The palate was about medium bodied with a good sipping structure to it. Carbonation felt good. ABV felt good.
Overall, thanks Blaine for the bottle! I’d have this again.
12 ounce bottle. Pours a somewhat hazy gold with a nice white head. Aroma of citrus and tropical. Taste is pineapple, grapefruit, lemon, mango, malt, and some pine. Very good.
Tap at meridian.’pours clear orange some head lots ofmlacing. Nose is earthy and sweet. Flavours of pine, resin, grapefruit.
Taste big bitter med/light sweet. Full sticky body lively carbonation.
Bottle. Pours a light gold with a decent white head of froth that dies back to reveal a bit of lacing. Aromas of light citrus and a whiff of spruce are there, but pretty subtle for a DIPA. First sip reveals that this is a very nicely made Imperial IPA, but it also doesn’t have a lot of the punchy edginess that some of the very favorites in the field have. It’s a very well balanced but boasts an aggressive hops presence, however it doesn’t distinguish itself or make me go "wow!" It simply makes me smile and go back for a second when I’m done, and that is good enough for a Monday any day of the week!
Bottle at home. Thanks Jeff! Pours a clear, light golden color. Head quickly dissipated to a thin film. Aroma is piney, a bit of faint pineapple, fragrant. Smells great. Taste is dank and piney, pine resin, floral. A bit of faint fruitiness with a moderate bitterness and hint of toasted malts. Very clean and smooth. Well executed beer all around. Impressive! Thanks again for sharing Jeff.
Poured from bottle into pint glass. Pours a yellow golden clear color, leaves a little lacing on glass, Aroma is Big time hops. Citrus, Tropical, medium carbonation. This Is a Fantastic Imperial. One Of The Best I’ve tried.
Keg at Buckeye Beer Engine. Clear amber, large creamy white head, good retention. Aroma of pine, grapefruit, resin, pepper. Taste is grapefruit, resin, pine, tangerine, pale malt. Medium bodied, juicy. Nice!
draft at the lizard. Smells like a pine tree. Very aromatic. Citrus undertones, very carbonated. Golden amber in color with medium head. Smooth Very nice for this style of beer.
Big aroma of pine and citrus, pours a slightly hazy orange-amber and a thin white head. Flavor has a touch of caramel, and then the hops come running in to play. There’s the pine and citrus coming back, along with some dank notes. A long lingering bitter finish wraps it up. This is a fantastic IIPA, and I’m glad they’re finally making enough to bottle.
On tap at Winking Lizard in Columbus. Golden, with white head. Citrus, hoppy, slight syrup malty aromas. Slight syrupy, citrus, grassy, hoppy, slight green hop flavors. Pretty good old school IPA
Keg at Brewdog Leicester. Big, serviceable DIPA, though perhaps a little brusque, hard edged and fist-slamming-on-table for me. Some peach and pineapple, some glassy bittering. Drinkable and boozy.
Bottle thanks to Ray in recent trade. Thank you! Pour is cloudy orangy gold with a small white head. Aroma and flavor are clean orange hop with a light floral note in there too. Super clean with a light balancing malty sweetness. Well crafted and crushable.
Bottle shared with Chris and Doug for the Lions share. Aroma is funky, citrus, malt, tropical fruit, grass. Appearance is golden, slightly hazy, off white head. Taste is citrus, malt, bitter, pine, tropical fruit, eh. Mouthfeel is light to medium body, light carbonation, pine citrus aftertaste. Overall, not as good as expected.
Bottle from Steve. Pours a clear gold, white head. Aroma of tropical fruit and candy. Taste is tropical and fruity, mega sweet. Too sweet. Meh.
Keg, Brewdog Leicester. Hazy golden with a thin head. Cracker biscuit and caramel malts with lemon and grapefruit. Grassy and dank. Spicy with pine. Warming alcohol. Alka-Seltzer body with a leafy bitter finish. Very good.

12oz bottle. Pours thick golden head. Disappears quick. Tropical fruit aromas. Taste of pineapple, lemon and dank pine come through. Nice bitter after punch. Well balanced. Reminds me of Pliny. Great beer!
Pours cloudy golden with low white head. Aroma of vanilla, mango, lime, passion fruit. Taste is pine bitter with a mellow fruit sweet finish. Light to medium bodied with soft carbonation.
At long last. The Bodhi has manifested in a new form.
It pours a bright and vibrant gold with a stellar, lasting head.
I believe this brew is Citra-dominant, allegedly singularly-hopped with Citra. The nose doesn’t lie. At a distance, the nose is candied lemon and apple, pastel citrus, pineapple, meandering pine resin that seems to waft from heavy doses of Citra, young cherry, pear, just lovely fruit overtones. Gently sweet cereal malt hides beneath the tropical weight.
The first sip starts resinous, yet interrupted by a thick mango, grapefruit and pineapple, tangerine, floral bite. The impression of overwhelming bitterness arises but never comes to fruition. I’m always astounded at the piney/resinous quality Citra can provide. Crackery malt sits very far back in the darkest corners of your palate.
Medium-plus body, very present linger of pineapple, rind, and flowers. This should be the official flagship DIPA of Ohio.
Draft. Pine and citrus aromas. Soapy and dense on the palate. Bitter and sour, but also refreshing. Short finish.
Keg at the Brewdog Birmingham; hazy golden yellow pour with a frothy off white head, aroma has sweet caramel and some dank pine, taste has clementine, sweet caramel, pine, some skunk.
Keg at Doghouse. Pours cloudy yellow with a small white head which soon recedes to a circumferential foamy surround. Aroma is caramel, mango, tropical fruits, pine. Taste is pine, hop oil, grassy bitter, mango sweet, tropical fruits sweet. Highly bitter with a nice balance of fruity sweetness. Warms the throat a bit. Full bodied.
On tap at BD pub Camden. Color : cloudy golden ale with nice white head. Nose : citrus, tropical fruits, and slightly pinus. Aromas : citrus, pinus, floral hops. Texture is really dry, very nice bitterness which lasts for a long time in aftertaste, low carbonation. This one is a really nice craft, dangerously hiding the alcohol.
