In river terms, a long swim means you probably aren’t having the best day. That’s about to changes thanks to the DIPA w/ Amarillo, Centennial, Eureka & Citra hops. It’s about to get epic!

Can (6/19/23) pour from Valley Beverage. It's a bright, hazy yellow with decent sparkle, finger-width head with good retention and nice rings of lacing. Aroma is dank citrus and lightly tart fruit. Taste is lightly tart fruit over biscuit. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium body with smooth, frothy texture, mostly bitter finish. Overall, more Centennial and Cascade than Amarillo, Citra and Eureka. Bitter West Coast IPA.

Light haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and crispy. Light clean pale malts bring a light sweetness. Decent orangey citrus, touch of lemon and tangerine. Modest pine. Touch of hop spice. Light finish. Nothing out the ordinary here, plenty more.complex DIPAs around but this one delivers light clean drinkability in spades.

Sample at GABF 10/07/2017, thanks to my bro for assistance with note-taking. Hazy straw-gold color with a medium thin white head that evaporates steadily. Stringy lace. Citrus, hops and malt in the nose. Medium body with flavors of grapefruit, piney hop and malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a lingering citrusy hop aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

From bomber to tulip. Aroma is potpourri and wheated malt. Cloudy yellow-gold with moderate white head that retains fairly well with patterns down the glass and moderate wispy clouds across the top. Full collar of small bubbles. Taste is restrained mixture of citrus, grapefruit and white wheat. Even though this is "restrained" - I do not mean it in a bad way as it blends nicely. Just not over the top. The 8.2% is hidden well by this balanced beer. Might be the pils malt bringing this all into a nice, clean profile. Nothing is outstanding, but it is all very good.

Tasting at Matt's; 8% ABV
Cloudy blond color. Sharp citrusy hops aroma. Moderately dry, crisp, lean, with piney and citrusy hops. A bit vegetable in the final.
Excellent.
