Can to snifter.
Appearance: orange to copper color with a finger and a quarter's worth of white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: apricot-like, strawberry & melon-like hoppiness; clean cracker malts
Flavor: blends the prior mentioned aromas together bittersweetly, semi-juicy, mild aftertaste of the apricot to strawberry hoppiness
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards the sipping side, lenient hop stroll on the tongue, finishes fairly dry and semi-juicy with the strawberry/melon hoppiness
Overall: IMO, might not be one of those NE styles but I believe this "semi" old schooled style of DIPA still has what it takes to be on the market these days
