Got in a BIF from MacMalt. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Pours moderately hazy/cloudy golden amber/light orange color with a 1 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of huge tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, coconut, berry, citrus peel/rind, light pepper, pine, wheat, white bread dough, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Incredible aromas with fantastic complexity and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, coconut, berry, citrus peel/rind, light pepper, pine, wheat, white bread dough, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, grassy, peppery bitterness on the the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, coconut, berry, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, wheat, white bread dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 8%. Overall this is an amazing DIPA! All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish, never aggressive. Perfectly balanced juicy, vibrant, and dank hop complexity; nice sized bready malt backbone, but not overly sweet/heavy for the ABV. A highly enjoyable offering. Loved the Mosaic/Cashmere hop showcase as expected.

Can@Himmeriget, Copenhagen - deep hazy almost opaque light orange coloured pour with small white head. Juicy fruity with some resonating notes of grapefruit and mandarin, some grapefruit and peachy notes, medium body, fruity hoppy into the close.
