New age double IPA that's heavily impacted by the bright peach & stonefruit notes imparted by an East Coast yeast strain. Simple dry hop consisting of purely Citra, resulting in a citrusy/tropical melange of hop aroma and flavor; passion fruit, tangerine, pineapple, white wine-esque grape character round out with a soft bitterness.

Can thanks to Denny. Pours a cloudy orange yellow with medium frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is tropical fruit and dank. Slick body, juicy, mango, papaya, pine, light bitterness, dusty, very nice.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated September 15, 2020. Aroma is hop forward but with a strong ester note. Moderately strong peach and pluot notes with quite a bit of passion fruit, pineapple, guava and citrus. Light cracker malt notes and hints of alcohol. Pours a hazy, pale, dusty straw color with a large, fluffy, thick, white head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers. Moderately high lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Medium light bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderately strong ester notes of peach and nectarine. Moderate hop notes of passion fruit, pineapple and citrus. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a pretty nice DIPA. The yeast notes are really fruity and compliment the hop character nicely. A bit more sweetness and lighter bitterness.

Thanks Justin for sharing the can! Taster showing pale gold with sparse white foam. The nose shows moderate notes of pineapple with lighter notes of citrus, mango, and tropical fruit. The palate is well carbonated and light bodied. Strong sharp pine throughout and overly bitter with very light hints of tropical fruit.
