Can shared by Marcus. Pours translucent brassy gold with a white head. Aroma is mostly mango for me. Med + body. Flavor brings out the peach, mango and strawberry - not certain about pineapple. Trace of heat I’d say. Juicily undry and pretty hoppy. Moderately bitter. Good taste. Drink it if you can find it.

16 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but is a recent release. Pours moderately hazy golden amber/light orange color with a 2 finger dense and rocky off white head with amazing retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas if big lightly tart/tangy peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, lemon, orange, grapefruit, passion fruit, papaya, strawberry, guava, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, honey, vanilla, cream, biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops, tropical fruit, vanilla, lactose, and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge lightly tart/tangy peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, lemon, orange, grapefruit, passion fruit, papaya, strawberry, guava, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, honey, vanilla, cream, biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very mild pine, citrus peel, herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness; and fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, lemon, orange, grapefruit, passion fruit, papaya, strawberry, guava, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, honey, vanilla, cream, biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops, tropical fruit, vanilla, lactose, and bready malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness and tart/tangy fruit balance; with zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Slightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and fruit tang/tartness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/silky, and lightly sticky/tangy mouthfeel that is fantastic. Minimal warming alcohol for 9.3%. Overall this is a fantastic DIPA! All around outstanding complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops, tropical fruit, vanilla, lactose, and bready malt flavors; very smooth and extremely easy to drink with the minimally bitter/drying finish. Mind blowingly juicy Citra hops and fruit; with balanced sweet malts and lactose. A dessert DIPA if there ever was one, but it's not overwhelming on sweetness at all. Very NEIPA-like. A highly enjoyable offering.

Can sampled at Craft Brewed. Pours a hazy glowing gold with a finger of creamy foam that lingers. Lots of fruit in the nose, strawberry, melon and pineapple aromas dominate. On the palate, fruit flesh and dry skin notes come out. Not as sweet as I expected. Quite dry with the fruit skin really balancing out the sweet fruit flesh. Loads of tropical notes thoughout, some dankness as well. A low bitterness hums through on the finish. Very nice and no trace of the 9% abv.
