16 ounce can into tulip glass, no canning date. Pours very hazy deep orange amber color with a 1-2 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, mango, papaya, lemon zest, orange peel, floral, grass, pine, caramel, toast, biscuit, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice aromas with good complexity of citrus/tropical hops and moderate malt sweetness; with good strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, mango, pineapple, papaya, lemon zest, orange peel, floral, grass, light pine, caramel, toast, toffee, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Fair amount of floral/pine bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, mango, pineapple, papaya, lemon zest, orange peel, floral, grass, light pine, caramel, toast, toffee, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice complexity of citrus/tropical hops with nearly balanced malt sweetness; with a good malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a fairly creamy, smooth, and moderately slick/sticky mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is fairly well hidden with only a light warming present after the finish. Overall this is a nice DIPA. Good complexity of citrus/tropical hops and fairly balanced malt sweetness; and very smooth to sip on for the ABV. A nicely enjoyable offering.
