4.2/5
AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
12 ounce bottle into tulip. Pours hazy dark red-orange color with a fairly dense 2 finger off white head with great retention. Aromas of strong orange and caramel; with pineapple, mango, and a bit of bread and alcohol. Fairly strong aromas here. Taste of strong caramel, orange, grapefruit, and mango. Very sweet flavors on the front that lead to a fairly strong bitterness on the finish that lingers with orange, grapefruit, and caramel flavor. This is very malt forward, but still has good balance. Light-Medium carbonation and very full bodied. Very smooth drinkability for its alcohol level. No alcohol noticed on the taste, but a decent warming was noticed on the finish, but overall the alcohol was very well hidden. Overall a very tasty DIPA, and the highest gravity DIPA I have had yet.
Glad that this gets into Ohio, despite being 13.6%. Great DIPA, if a bit malty for my taste.
