This hazy, juicy Double IPA features the finest El Dorado, Citra, and Amarillo hops. With a name inspired by a government sign that always elicits a laugh every time we pass into Mexico through a particular port of entry, it's an intensely hoppy explosion of tropical and stone fruits with a unique dank and resinous quality.

32oz crowler pours with a murky opaque dull dirty copper colored body that has thin golden hues and supports a really nice tight light tan head of foam. The aroma pushes up inviting notes of pineapple, mango, tangelo and a bit of cantaloupe. The taste delivers a pleasing blend of mango, cantaloupe, tangelo, orange and slice of bitter pink grapefruit. Nice. This is well blended and balanced and providing no sense of the ABV. Solid dangerously drinkable brew.

Got in a trade with AZBeerDude72. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Pours opaquely hazy deep orange/green/amber color with a 1 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Dense foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew, watermelon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew, watermelon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew, watermelon, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and 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, and fairly sticky/resinous/rindy mouthfeel that is great. Mild increasing warmth of 8.1% after the finish. Overall this is a fantastic NEDIPA. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV, with the mellowly bitter/resinous/drying finish; great soft feel and not overly aggressive. Fantastic El Dorado, Citra, Amarillo profile. Extremely juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a nice sized wheat/oat/malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and outstanding style example.
