10 ounce at the brewery - I've never been a huge fan of adding citrus to an IPA, but god help me I keep trying them - this is another example of why I don't like them that much - very pithy citric bitterness does not really harmonize with the hops, so overall it's sharp and abrasive - the alcohol burn at the end doesn't help - good hop presence, flavor, and aromatics - finish of bitter grapefruit and mandarin oranges - meh.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Pours slightly hazy golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big tangerine juice, lemon, orange, peach, pear, pineapple, mango, melon, citrus zest, banana, light pepper/pine, cracker, white bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine juice, lemon, orange, peach, pear, pineapple, mango, melon, citrus zest, banana, light pepper/pine, cracker, white bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel, peppery, grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine juice, lemon, orange, peach, pear, pineapple, mango, melon, citrus zest, banana, pepper, pine, cracker, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Light-medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately grainy/sticky, and slightly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 8.5%. Overall this is a very nice fruited DIPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish. Nice unique mix of dank and vibrant hop complexity from the Jarrylo hops; well attenuated and pretty light feeling considering the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.
