ABV: 8.5% IBU: 55 Ticks: 47
One of our original "Hazy" double IPA's that is constantly tweaked to draw out as much juice-like character as possible, utilizing the interactions of hops & expressive yeast. Leading with Nelson & Citra, with healthy additions of Simcoe, Krush, El Dorado and Strata for a tropical onslaught on the nose & palate. Bitterness is restrained, allowing for unhindered enjoyment of the heavenly mouthfeel and vivid fruit character.

Pint can pours with an opaque gold body that has wafer thin coppers hues and supporting an off white head of foam. The aroma offers up sugary mango cotton candy and orange sherbet and deeper in it gets into guava and cantaloupe. The taste delivers soft sweet mango and guava that builds into some sugary orange sherbet. This attains timid citrus hop tanginess. It is really ruled by soft sweetness that just doesn't let up. Ended up too sweet to finish.

Opaque. Weedy hop, a bit green and the malts are sticky, not really a good complement to this hop profile especially the low bitterness. This one misses for me.

16 oz can sent by Tcon. Thanks! Awesome to try these hazy brews done right! Glowing, dense juicy haze with above average pillow foam head. A really well balanced imperial between juicy / fruity hops and bold, dank hops. Just enough aggressive hop bitter to compliment the tropical juicy constant. Ridiculously smooth and easy drinking imperial with flavor that never quits. Long lingering juicy, hoppy palate. Exceptional product here

16 oz. can, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma reveals a wonderful bouquet of dank hops, melony notes, and tropical citrus fruits. Flavour is juicy and dank, with loads of dank pot-like hops, juicy tropical fruits, light pineapple and mango, and some citrus rinds. Tropical, dank and bitter citrus on the finish. That's damn good.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated April 21, 2021. Aroma is hop forward with mango, passion fruit, guava, pineapple and tropical citrus notes. Light cracker malt notes and light alcohol. Moderate lacing and small legs. Pours a murky, hazy, dull, golden straw color with a large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Flavor is fairly sweet with light cracker malt notes. Medium bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderately strong notes of guava, pineapple, passion fruit and lighter notes of citrus and mango. Light dank, resin notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid DIPA. Lots of hop notes and a balanced malt profile. Sweetness and moderate bitterness carry each other and help hide the alcohol.
