12 ounce can from Tadych's Iron Mountain, 10/10/20. Hazy amber large foamy tan head good retention. Aroma of resin, pine, melon, grapefruit. Taste is melon, grapefruit, pine, lemon, pale malt. Medium bodied, clean, medium to high bitterness. Nice hob bomb. I miss those.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 9/20/2019. Pours slightly hazy deep golden/amber/light orange color with a 2 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, honeydew melon, berries, citrus peel/zest, wood, peppercorn, pine, honey, white bread dough, biscuit, light caramel/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and dark/bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, honeydew melon, berries, citrus peel/zest, wood, peppercorn, pine, honey, white bread dough, biscuit, light caramel/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, honeydew melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, honey, white bread dough, biscuit, light caramel/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and dark/bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, fairly sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 9.2%. Overall this is an awesome DIPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and dark/bready malt flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to drink for the big ABV, with the mellowly bitter/resinous/drying finish. Great soft feel for the ABV. Feels like Columbus, Centennial, Simcoe. Super juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a nice sized dark/bready malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. Well attenuated and not overly sweet/heavy for the ABV. A really enjoyable offering, and impressive classic tasting Midwest style example. Enjoyed it more than the base beer as expected.
