16 ounce can. Hazy amber orange pour. Frothy beige head. Floral citrus hop nose hints at honeysuckle. Tangy citrus fruit flavor sits on top of a bready malt base. Notes of mango, tangerine and melon. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Sharp notes of grapefruit and passionfruit in finish. Decent.

Got this from spelingchampeon. 16 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but is a recent release. Pours very hazy golden orange/amber color with a 1 finger dense and rocky white head with awesome retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of huge tangerine, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, strawberry, grapefruit, citrus zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Incredible aromas with amazing balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge tangerine, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, strawberry, grapefruit, citrus zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very minimal pine, zesty, herbal, grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, strawberry, grapefruit, citrus zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth and creamy/silky/grainy mouthfeel that is fantastic. Slight sticky hops and increasing lingering dryness, with no cloying flavors after the finish. Zero warming alcohol for 7.9%. Overall this is an amazing NE DIPA! All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink with the very minimally bitter/drying finish. Perfectly soft feel. Wonderful Galaxy, Citra, Mosaic and Simcoe showcase. Extremely juicy hop complexity; with perfect wheat/oat/malt balance, not overly sweet/heavy. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazing style example. Loved the hop profile as expected, definitely top tier stuff.
