Let me start off by saying this is probably my favorite double ipa i've had yet.  As soon as you open it, it's a bombardment of citrus and floral aromas.  Pours wonderfully.  Not too malty at all.  A lot of doubles will leave a thick foam residue on your glass as you drink it but this one pretty balanced.

It plays games!!!!  You  take a sip and it goes from floral scents to distinctive hop flavors instantly. 

Overall I'm very pleased with this beer. 

I had to grab a skiing related pint for this pour hah

Damn. 11% is a pretty hearty beer. I don't think I've ever seen that brew around. I'll have to keep my eyes out for it. Sounds amazing.

It's pretty a pretty hefty beer as far as alcohol goes but you honestly can't tell there's that much in there.  Mad Elf from troegs is 11% and it's kinda the same deal. you have no idea the alcohol is in there until you stand up and are losing your balance haha

Mad Elf... I'll save that review for mid february when I can get the 3ft. tall bottles of it.
