Fully loaded with copious quantities of Mosaic, Strata, Simcoe & Cashmere hops. Murky haze, tropical fruit joose aromas & flavors (heavy on the pineapple & orange), and just enough malt base + piney bitterness for balance. A new year is almost here: time for some SHORT TERM GOALS.

Super hazy deep golden and straw coloured body with a rich, four to five centimetre tall just off-white head that's fluffy, yet stays afloat for a long time. Aroma of bright mangoes, oranges, papaya and some kiwi fruit with a lot of lighter alpha acid, but strong hops (from the dry-hopping) with a lot of lactose and sweetness noticeable, in the nose at least. Medium to Full-bodied; Very rich orangey and fruity flavours dominate with the papaya and mangoes right up front as the malt hits hard as well with a light hoppiness, but strong fruit flavours towards the end with a good robust quality, but a rich sweetness at the end that packs a punch and leaves some alcohol warmth here as well. Aftertaste is full of fruitiness with a lot of malt body and a bunch of sweetness with the kiwi and papaya notes the strongest along with a mineraly, Flintstones-vitamin type punch at the end with a lot of malts and alcohol at the finish - very strong throughout. Overall, a very nice and strongly fruity beer with a lot of rich malts and fruit with a good deal of sweetness from the lactose that is still brings through some alcohol as well. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in New York (Union Square), New York on 16-January-2022 for US$4,99 sampled in my hotel room here in Charlottesville, Virginia on 18-February-2022.

At the source: pours golden with a white head. Aroma is fruity and a little weirdly cheesy. Taste is relatively bitter. Taste is pretty fruity. Perhaps a tad boozy as well. Not a bad DIPA.
