We imagined a tropical vacation in the middle of the winter. Fruity juiceness, papaya dank, with a touch a fresh pine and "warm" bread. Now we just need those plane tickets.

Slightly hazy dark amber, off-white head. Does not look like a hazy IPA at all, but it does has some of those ne-ipa notes in the aroma - sharp citrus oil and chives, thought the crystal sugars are strong too. Crystal, as well as notes of sugared flower petals. The taste some has those Uber-hoppy notes too but again, the malts are there as well. Kinda sharp chives and zest oil bitterness. What is is lacking is the juiciness and milkshake texture of hazy IPAs. Not a bad IPA per se, but a car cry from what the label says it is.
