Poured from a 16 oz can dated November 17, 2020. Aroma is moderately hop forward and fruity with passion fruit, mango, guava and lighter emotes of citrus and pineapple. Light cracker malt notes with hints of alcohol. Pours a hazy, dull, golden-orange with a medium large, moderately thick, frothy white head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers in clumps on the edges. Medium light lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Moderate bitterness and light alcohol notes. Fairly strong hop notes of passion fruit, mango, pineapple and tropical citrus with some stone fruit esters. Light dank, resin notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid DIPA. The aroma is not as hop forward as I would expect, but the flavor has strong hop notes.

Can at Craft CG share - thanks to LKS. It pours cloudy yellow with a small white head. The aroma is quite fresh, sweet, sticky, bready, fruity, yellow plum, sweet melon, pear, floury bread and danky green hops. The taste is dry, bitter, green, honeydew melon, pear, apple, ripe pineapple, tannin, kick of alcohol and dankness. Medium body and fine carbonation. Nice pear and melon vibes. Good fun.

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Aroma is so tropically fruity it brings dank to mind. Med + body. I call dank. Mixed tropicals. I think I can pick out mango and pineapple. Might be some guava. If there’s citrus, it’s drowned in the other flavors. Mild hop burn. Malt? Probably. Juicily undry. Very hoppy. Pretty bitter. This is great ale!
