Big notes of mango and passion fruit lead into an aromatic yeast character and a full mouthfeel with just enough bitterness to reign it all in and give it a bite that is surprisingly crisp for a DIPA.

Can. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth and semi dry palate, decent fine carbonation. Smooth but slightly thin malts, reasonably sweet. A promising hop profile is let down but a tangy bitterness. Get past that and there is thin but juicy citrus with an underlying tropical fruit vibe. Quite a crisp and dry hop spicy finish. Take that tang away and there is a good dipa here, but the tang bothers me and it's front and centre here.

440ml can. Murky golden, small white head. Aroma of mango, passionfruit, pine. Taste is tropical and fruity, mango and passionfruit, finish is really dank with peppery spice and bitter piney notes. Medium bodied. Good stuff, best parts of both breweries coming together here.
