16oz can pours with a murky glowing dull gold colored body that supports a nice white head of foam. The aroma offers up cantaloupe nuanced grapefruit and tangy tangerine as well as some mild spicy danky onion hoppiness. The taste delivers smooth soft cantaloupe blending into tart grapefruit and tangerine. This is deep and rich with fruity citrus and tropical notes as well as mild bitter dankness with zero sense of the abv. The crushability factor is nearly off the end of the scale. Cripes!

Can. It pours a hazy yellow color with a white head. The aroma has bright passionfruit, mango and grapefruit. Hints of papaya. Very tropical. The flavor has the same tropical fruitiness, but also a hint of alcohol. A bit lighter and not as creamy as some of the best Moonraker hoppy beers. Overall, this was very nice, but a bit of a letdown since I loved the single version.

Pint can. Thanks, snuffy. The beer is a orangey, tannish yellow color. It’s nearly opaque with haze. White head. The aroma is full of sweet tropical fruit hop flavors. Pineapple, mango, guava, lemon, lime, coconut. Very mild malt character. The taste is on the sweeter side. Low to moderate bitterness at most. Easy to drink. Lots of hop flavor comes through. Big tangerine, pineapple, coconut. Some hop oiliness. A bit of body to it. Very nice.

Poured from a 16 oz can with a 04/2017 date (specific date is unreadable). Aroma is super hop forward with tons of tropical fruit and some light citrus notes. Lots of guava, mango, melon, tangerine, mandarin and passion fruit. Light peach notes with a hint of an herbal, resin note. Hints of alcohol spice. Pours a rather hazy, dull, pale, straw color with a medium large, thick, white head that exhibits really nice retention as it slowly recedes to a thin film that lingers. Moderate lacing and small legs. Flavor has a light sweetness with some light cracker malt notes and hints of white bread. Medium to medium low bitterness with hints of alcohol spice. Moderately string hop notes with mango, melon, passion fruit and guava. Hints of orange and tangerine with a light resin note in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a very tasty DIPA, though I prefer a more complex hop profile from using more than just citra. Really fruity hops though with great tropical fruit notes and lighter citrus.
