Can pour with an amber color. Sweet pine aroma. Bitter malty flavor with hints of fresh cut pine and a slight astringent note. Medium bitterness with little on the hop aroma front.
12 oz. can pours a clear dark golden color with small white head that lingers and leaves some lacing. Aroma is malt-forward (caramel and toffee) but with enough floral hops. pineapple and pine. Taste is bitter with a somewhat boozy finish. Body is medium to full with a sticky mouthfeel and not too much carbonation. This is a pleasure to sip, even if not too complex.

Bottle. Pours a copper color. Average carbonation. Floral citrus hops with a nice backbone of caramel and toffee light notes. Medium bitterness. Nice beer.
Pink breast cancer research can, best by today 1/17/19, and bought literally yesterday from Brook Falls Liquor. Slightly hazy amber, large white head, good retention. Aroma of toasted grain and grapefruit. Taste is grain, caramel, leaves, grapefruit. Medium bodied, slick, malt-forward, mild bitterness. This hasn't passed the best buy date but the hops seem to have fallen off. 13,500th USA rating!
Sample at Arizona Strong Beer Festival 2019. Golden with a small white head. Aroma and taste of hops, grapefruit, malt and some caramel. The body was medium and the finish bitter.
On tap at the Salt Lake City airport. Strong hoppy and grapefruit aroma. Taste is hoppy, but not bitter. It has a clean dry finish.
Bottle in salt lake with Sam easy start with soft easy finish Terri also liked it sooo
Clean without being boozy for a DIPA. Good hop aroma and aggressively appropriate bitterness. Old school and very good.
In the canarchy mix, really good old school double. Big citrus, bitter finish, some caramel sweetness. Balanced,
Found in can from Ingles in Franklin, NC. The aroma is light for the style. It's certainly hoppy and bitter but only a bit better than average for the style for me.
355ml can. Pours a clear orange with a medium, foamy, long lasting, ecru head that laces. Sweet aroma of caramel malt, orange, mango and pine. Sweet flavour of caramel malt, toffee, orange, grapefruit peel, apricot, mango,
pine needles, floral hops and alcohol in a dry, bitter grass finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Not bad, but could use more hop punch.
Can @ 2018 Great Vegas Festival Of Beer. Pours a golden color with a small white head. Has a fruity malty grapefruit hoppy aroma. Fruity malty grapefruit hoppy bitter flavor. Has a fruity malty grapefruit hoppy bitter finish.
I do not recall when or where I obtained the 12 oz bottle I am trying now. No matter, here we go. I spot Double IPA and 9% on the label, good start. Opened and poured into my ABGB tulip glass we see a semi-clear, gold-yellow body with a skim of white foam. The smell is a bit different. Ripe yellow fruit with a bit of grassiness. Hope the taste improves on that. It shows a bit better, apricot tinged hops, some yeastiness from somewhere. Can’t get very excited.
From tap at Rotolo's Pizzeria, Shreveport. Big resinous hop aroma with tropical fruits, grapefruit, ripe orange, pine resin, malt, and caramel. Flavour is medium to heavy sweet with a long bitterness. Body is medium to full with a sticky feel. Classic resinous IIPA, filled to the brim with hops.
Sweet lemon candy aroma. Pine and ripe citrus on the tongue. Really smooth and not too bitter. Delicious.
Can. Every hop on the planet. A little oily on the mouthfeel. High alcohol content not detected. Smoother caramel on the finish. Did I mention it's pretty good?
Cannette à Las Vegas. Arôme houblons résineux. En bouche, très douce puis une amertume pas trop franche et finale avec longueur exceptionnelle sur le résineux ! Alcool bien contrebalancé avec amertume. Une excellente IPA !
Citrus with a hint of tropical fruit and a thick malty background. Dark gold amber with a thick foamy off-white head. Great retention. Lots of lacing. Thick and chewy. Citrus. Tropical fruit (papaya maybe?). Bitter finish. Very nice.
12oz bottle. Light hops aroma. Hops malt resin flavour that lingers. Medium body. Smooth for a double but flavour is mild.
Pours clear slightly brown gold with a moderate white top. Aroma is sweet caramel syrupy resin. Taste is resinous, sweet caramel with pine hops. Nice beer.
Pours a medium amber with a head that appears to have a tint of rusty orange. The beer looks very still in the glass with almost no bubbles rising to the top of the glass. Aroma is sweet and malty, as one might expect from a double IPA with this ABV. Initial flavor has some citrus followed by a bitter hop bight, followed by some roasty malts. No alcohol flavor, which is nice for a beer this strong. The flavors are strong all the way through the flavor spectrum. I am surprised how smooth this beer feels in the mouth given the strength - not syrupy really. Neither the aroma nor the flavor really knock my socks off, but both are pretty good.
12 oz can. Pine floral. Generic hops. Medium bitterness for a double. Nothing special. But then again I bought it at a Walgreens on the Las Vegas strip.
Enjoyable IPA. Very harsh and heavy hoppy taste that i love
Draft. Pours amber with white head and substantial lacing. Fruit and some pine hops with some caramel and biscuit malt.
Color is yellowish Amber. White head good lacing. Smells like s traditional IPA hops, mild citrus. Taste is ok at first but has a horrible after taste. I couldn't finish the glass. Would not recommend.
Can. Head is initially average sized to large, frothy, off-white, mostly lasting. Body is medium amber. Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (caramel), lightly to moderately hoppy (apricot), with notes of butter, taffy, corn syrup, alcohol. Flavor is heavily sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter, slightly unclean. Full body, syrupy texture, soft carbonation, moderately alcoholic.
A sloppy example...very thick, goopy, syrupy mouthfeel, overly sweet (thankfully low acid, though), and the aroma is offensive. Drain pour caliber.
Balanced with equal parts caramel malt and piney/herbal hop flavor. Hides the 9% ABV well and drinks more like an IPA than a double.
