Tasty DIPA, not quite the magical beast that is Kuhnhenn DRIPA but close, hoppy as hell and semisweet, teeming with grapefruit, apricot, pine, white pepper, and berry notes all atop a sneaky sake undertone. Finishes dry and slightly boozy, with a rice wine fade and a lingering but negotiable hop bitterness. Pours a hazed gold with a massive white head and infinite lacing. Subdued aroma's a letdown, but the feel's wonderful, thick and oily and oh so easy to put away. Very good pint.

12 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but is a recent release. Pours slightly hazy golden amber/light orange color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off whiteh ead with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings around the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, cracker, white bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, cracker, white bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel, herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, cracker, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and fairly crisp/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Minimal warming alcohol for 8.2%. Overall this a fantastic DIPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish, never aggressive. Citra and Mosaic hops. Extremely juicy, vibrant, and dank hop complexity; nice pale malt backbone, with minimal residual sweetness. Well attenuated from the rice. A highly enjoyable offering as expected, love the hop profile.
