16 ounce can. Lightly hazed honey gold color. Finger high frothy beige head. Dank citrus hop aroma. First sip brings notes of cardamom, lemon verbena and green onions. Quite refreshing. Notes of lime and creole spice.

The Aromas are dusty dry grains and hops. Flavors are similar to nose, sweet up front with low bitterness maybe some orange and mango the Hops seem little oxidized. Good enough body and Finish likewise drinkability. Wouldn't seek it out though again.

Can from Craft Brewed. Pours a mostly clear deep gold to light amber with a finger of foam that lingers. Big shaved coconut, lychee and crushed pineapple aromas. As it warms some vanilla bean notes come out. Really aromatic and interesting hop aromas. More of the same on the palate with some honeydew melon and peach notes as well. Smooth and creamy with a slight pine note on the finish. Fun hops. --- Beer merged from original tick of It’s Just Paperwork, Man on 13 Jun 2019 at 22:26 - Score: 8. Original review text: Crazy nose with coconut, mango and vanilla aromas. All hops though no adjuncts. More coconut, lychee and peach as it warms. Sab-whoa!

Nice DIPA, a bit boozy for 7.9% but a strong showcase for a pair of hops, one fairly new (Sabro), the other under the radar (Meridian). Coconut, lime, pineapple, mandarin, and woody bitterness sit atop a mild grainy sweetness and a tropical, mild, almost vanilla-tinged fade. Could use more bitterness, but the hop blend brings some really interesting flavors here, enough to look past the overly warm feel. Good pint.
