16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 10/26/2017. Pours slightly hazy medium golden/amber color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense foamy lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of tangerine, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, white wine grapes, guava, berry, grapefruit, lemon/orange zest, light pepper/pine, honey, bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of big tangerine, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, white wine grapes, guava, berry, grapefruit, lemon/orange zest, light pepper/pine, honey, bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light pine, citrus peel, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, white wine grapes, guava, berry, grapefruit, lemon/orange zest, light pepper/pine, honey, bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Minimal warming alcohol for 8.6%. Overall this is a delicious DIPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV. Great showcase of juicy Mosaic, Citra, Hallertau Blanc hops; pretty hefty malt backbone, but not overly sweet/heavy feeling. Pretty East coast feeling with the mellow bitterness and minimal drying. A very enjoyable offering.

Can. Pours clear golden with large foamy off-white head, very faint citrus aroma, initially sweet taste with mild citrusy hops bitterness, alcohol undertones, medium carbonation, long sweetish finish. Decent, not great.
