Pours a crystal clear amber from a can, minimal lacing. Big fruity aroma. Bitter and watery for a DIPA. Good beer.

Draft. Crystal clear golden color, fluffy white head with nice lacing. Aroma of raw bread dough and stone fruit. Taste has light funk, tropical fruit, more bread. Very tasty. Thank you for making a clear IPA, and a fruity IPA with no actual fruit in it. Amazing what’s possible with hops and yeast.

Pour is a murky orange with a small white head. Aroma is nice peach with some honeysuckle and melon. Flavor is a honeydew melon with some cantaloupe and peach. There is a dull bready malt that gets in the way of the hops and this may be because of the English ale yeast used. Maybe a different yeast may have left more hop presence in play here. Still, this is a pleasant IPA just not a hop monster I’m wanting in a double IPA.
