APPEARANCE - Opaque amber with a 1-finger light brown head that dissipates after awhile. Good lacing SMELL/AROMA/SCENT - Piney, sweet, fruity. TASTE - A well-rounded beer, very tasty. Hoppy, with a nice aftertaste. ABV well-hidden. MOUTHFEEL/PALATE/TEXTURE - Not extremely thick. A bit of carbonation. OVERALL/DRINKABILITY - A very drinkable beer, smooth, with a great aftertaste. If only they sold 12-ounce bottles!

Very bitter as expected. Alcohol is noticeable and warming. Piney and flowery aroma and flavor. Great beer.

Rich taste, bitter but also savory

A: Beautiful copper color with some very decent head retention A: I feel like I just stuck my nose into a pineapple T: Now I just took a bite into this pineapple but also some heavy orange peel, mango, black pepper and pear M: Very thick mouthfeel with oilily characteristics. Not a lot of carbonation A: The tropical fruits really stick with you along with the heavy hop bitterness I would pair this brew with some spicy Mexican food or would also pair nice with breakfast (but maybe not very much due to the high abv)

Really dark taste. The alcohol taste overwhelms the taste of hops. I feel like I can breath fire.

This is really more of a triple IPA. Really well done. At 10 percent ABV you wouldn't even know.

Strong hoppy flavor with a slightly metallic aftertaste.
