Vapid is one of our favorite DIPAs, which we have double dry hopped with Citra and Simcoe. The result is a beer with notes of pineapple, pine, tangerine, mango, & guava.

Can from Chris M., thanks: pours light hazy orange with a white head. Aroma is hefty citrus and pine, mostly. Taste is pretty juicy citrus And some piña. Juicy and somewhat bitter. Lingering aftertaste. Not bad... a bit soapy.

Can, undated, as Special Drops, shared by Stacey on 10/13/18, thanks!
Heavily hazy, freshly squeezed white grapefruit juice color. White head fades quickly to a ring.
Ruby red grapefruit mixes with mango-like notes and honey notes from the malt to produce a soft, but zesty, well-rounded hop character that shows a little bit of West Coast and a little bit of New England. No big bubble gum or intense lactose, and I'd almost guess that neither were there. Aromatic but light, with no booze or resin.
In the mouth, wow is it lovely. Is this real yeast? I don't know why, but it's very different from most New England IPAs and feels far less estery, with no bubble gum that I can find. Grapefruit, cracker and biscuit with low but ample bitterness for balance and high attenuation and tight carbonation. Tastes like 5% alcohol. Melon, grapefruit and zesty lime linger with lots of spicy character. They've worked some magic with Citra and Amarillo here. Far more interesting than these hops usually are.

16 oz. can. Hazy golden Aroma has tons of juicy tropical stone fruits, pineapple and some light florals. The flavor is pineapple, citrus and a mild lasting pine bitterness. Soft mouthfeel, moderate strength bitterness.
