Can. Light haze on this gold beer, tidy cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, reasonably crispy. Light malts, sweetish. Curious dipa this one. The pineapple and plum are there but are quite ripe. Apricot? Not so much. Ginger? Very mild. Semi ripe citrus and marmalade. Finishes with a little spice. A nice idea but doesn’t quite gel for me.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, best before 7/8/2021. Pours very hazy/cloudy deep golden/amber/light orange color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big apricot, peach, plum, pear, pineapple, tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/zest, ginger, peppercorn, pine, honey, candi sugar, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, apricot, plum, pineapple, ginger, candi syrup, and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of big apricot, peach, plum, pear, pineapple, tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/zest, ginger, peppercorn, pine, honey, candi sugar, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness; ginger spiciness; and fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of apricot, peach, plum, pear, pineapple, tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/rind, ginger, peppercorn, pine, honey, candi sugar, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, apricot, plum, pineapple, ginger, candi syrup, and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitter/spiciness and tart/tangy fruit balance; with zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitter/spiciness and tart/tangy fruit. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, fairly sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy/tangy/acidic mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warmth of 9%, or lingering ginger spice heat. Overall this is an awesome fruit/spiced DIPA. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, apricot, plum, pineapple, ginger, candi syrup, and bready malt flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to drink for the ABV, with the mellowly bitter/spicy/tangy/drying finish; awesomely soft feel. Feels like Citra, Centennial, Amarillo. Very juicy hops/fruit, with some dank/earthy notes; and a nice sized sugary/bready malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and impressive experimental style example. Not overwhelming on any aspect.
