Poured this double IPA out of a big bottle into a pint glass and it poured a very dark amber with a big head that took awhile to disappear and left a trace throughout. Smell was herby, citrusy and very hoppy. Not sure if I've had a beer that had such a strong smell of hops. Taste at first is citrus and hops, nicely balanced, but the finish is very strong. The hops kick in, but so does a very strong alcohol taste. I'm a fan of double IPAs, but this one finishes a little too strong. Also has some slight herbal nodes which were delightful. Overall, a little too bitter and alcoholy in the aftertaste, but not terrible. Definitely more of a late fall/winter beer instead of when its 100 degrees in the summer.
