3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 Masterkush7 (580) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - OCT 2, 2013
12oz goblet on tap at Brewsters Oliver Square location pours a slightly hazy golden orange color with a small white head that leaves some decent lacing on the glass. Aroma is dominated by tropical fruits and pink grapefruit. Taste is a grainy malty and tropical fruit sweetness balanced nicely by a pink grapefruit hop bitterness. Medium bodied with decent carbonation. A very well done DIPA that is certainly no hop bomb, but is a pleasant tasting experience with a nice balance.

Murky light brown, silky white head. Oranges, green apple skin, mellow mellow caramel, something tropical. Not bad. Tasty but seems like a hoppier less harsh version of the blue monk. Oranges, mid mouth spice, Carmel, weak pepper, pretty much a weak barley wine.
3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 andrewturba (1190) - Alberta, CANADA - AUG 2, 2013
Served in a goblet. Pours a pretty clear copper colour with a small off white ring around the glass leaving a few spots on the glass. Aroma is sweet tropical fruit, sweet citrus, floral and caramel but overall not a very strong Aroma. Flavour is made up of moderate warming alcohol, a short medium bitterness after an up front malty sweetness, and resinous. Goes down easy for an 8.5 beer but average for a dipa.
