This New England style DIPA is a beast, but not in a "lurking in the shadows, evil" kind of way; in a "flavour explosion, delicious hops," GOOD Monster kind of way! Double dry hopped with 24g/L of Mosaic, Citra, Simcoe and Amarillo; notes of tropical mango and passionfruit, juicy peach, and bright orange, lemon, and grapefruit shine!

Can at home, from CW online, 11/04/21. Hazed light golden yellow with a decent white cap that settles to a swirl. Nose is pine resin, grass, grapefruit, melon, papaya, airy malts, light hop spice. Taste comprises orange pith, ripe melon, grass, weed, toasted malts, grapefruit zest, light pine. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with balanced juicy hop bitterness. Decent well rounded and easy drinking DIPA.

Cloudy medium apricot-orange-brown body, medium clumping off-white head. Nose of tangy, tart fruit pulp, primarily tangerine and orange, with hints of papaya. Juicy, earthy body, mostly orange-tangerine-papaya juice with a grassy vegetal crispness in the finish. Reminds me of Old Nation's M-43 but crisper and less sour/tangy. A rock-solid sipper.

Hazy golden colour with a frothy-bubbly off-white head, good retention and some soapy lacing left. Beautiful aromas mixing some fruitiness and one characteristic I really like in some of these hops - cilantro. Yes, a mix of grassiness and mild sourness. Some pineapple, peach and other tropical fruits. The flavours are different as the fruitiness is lighter, and the hops show more bitterness and dryness with the grassiness. The cilantro I love in Vietnamese food is still present. The is a very nice DIPA that is for those who like them less juicy, and more hoppy in the mouth.
