Sampled from the tap at Cultivate. Pours a cloudy yellow orange with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of citrus rind with a bit of passionfruit supported by sweet grains and lactose. Flavor has lots of orange and passionfruit with some guava and lactose backing.

12 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but is a recent release. Pours very hazy golden orange/amber color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy/tart/tangy passion fruit, guava, blood orange, fruit skin, lemon, lime, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, papaya, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, light pepper, pine, vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, fruit, lactose, vanilla, and pale/wheat malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big juicy/tart/tangy passion fruit, guava, blood orange, fruit skin, lemon, lime, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, papaya, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, light pepper, pine, vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness; and fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of juicy/tart/tangy passion fruit, guava, blood orange, fruit skin, lemon, lime, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, papaya, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, fruit, lactose, vanilla, and pale/wheat malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness and tart/tangy fruit balance; with minimal astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and tart/tangy fruit. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/grainy, sticky/resinous/rindy, and fairly crisp/acidic/tangy balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Minimal warming alcohol for 10%. Overall this is a delicious fruited milkshake DIPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, fruit, lactose, vanilla, and pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and easy to drink for the big ABV, with the moderately bitter/resinous/drying finish, not overly aggressive. Very well attenuated for the ABV. Great balance of juicy and fairly dark/earthy hops/fruit; nice wheat/oat/lactose/malt backbone, with no residual sweetness from lingering dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example as expected.
