Finally got a chance to drink the GItM TimBone sent, and now I'm wishing I hadn't, as I have no more to drink.

I love the opaqueness of the beer, and the citrus qualities are really up front - I really dig that in a DIPA. The smell is fantastic - very orange juice. Crazy smooth - I can't believe this is 8.5%. I picked up a hint of vegetal flavors on first taste, but those seem to have been overpowered by the citrus as it warms, which I appreciate - many Toppling Goliath beers have become overly vegetal to me, and I'm not a fan of that flavor in the slightest (though, this does remind me of King Sue). The citrus flavors are great in this - I could drink this regularly (and wish I could).

Thanks for the share TimBone - incredibly generous of you! Looking forward to hearing what you think of Abrasive (going out Monday).
