Score
7.35
ABV: 8.5% IBU: - Ticks: 26
This pale golden elixir is brewed with an array of pilsner malts to keep the color light and the malt flavor low. We let Citra do most of the talking on this one, while Ekuanot just barely gets a word in. The nose on this one is straight mango and the palate is reminiscent of blueberries, orange juice, and gummy bears.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated June 17, 2020. Aroma is rather hop forward and fruity with lots of tropical citrus, mango, passion fruit, guava and hints of melon. Light cracker malt with hints of oats and wheats. Hints of alcohol. Pours a very murky, pale, yellow, dusty straw color with a medium sized, thick, creamy white head that recedes quickly to a small, thin, film that lingers on the edges. Light lacing and small legs. Flavor is fairly sweet with light cracker malt and hints of oats and wheat. Lots of passion fruit, mango, guava, and tropical citrus with hints of stone fruit, pineapple and melon. Faint dank, resin notes and light alcohol spice. Medium low bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice, very hazy IPA. Loads of fruity hop notes with a very soft malt and water profile. Low bitterness and a bit creamy.

Not sure what I've got here, but I don't think it's the right beer. Can says The Other Brian, but what I have is a dark brown (it almost looks like it's dark blue or maybe even purple?), muddy-looking beer with almost no head. Aroma and flavor are fruity and it almost seems like there might be some seeds or seed remnants floating in this. Is this some sort of mis-canned fruit beer or sour IPA?** Edit/Update: 7/7/2020. I finally got ahold of another can of this and I'm sure I got the right stuff this time around. This was a good, middle-of-the-road example of an NE-style DIPA. Averaging the scores for the 2 beers and updating...
