This signature DIPA of ours features Mosaic, Strata, and El Dorado in the dry hop and pours pale gold with heavy haze. The aroma features big melon vibes on the nose, honeydew, cantaloupe, strawberry, wild flowers, rose water, fresh cut grass, and a hint of orange. The flavor follows the aroma with melon, strawberry, and flowers.

Can from Lighthouse Wine & Spirits, Beverly. Deeply hazy, dark yellow, nice sparkle, decent head with good retention and soapy lacing. I hate to be a sucker for power of suggestion but the aroma is everything they advertise it will be with the addition of grapefruit. Taste follows aroma, minus the grapefruit. Smooth texture, soft carbonation, crisp finish as taste. Wonderful complexity!

8 oz draft. Aroma of candied citrus and soft herb. Myriad of flavors. Melon, berries, soft tropical fruits. Ends with a mild pine needle bitterness. Exceptionally well balanced.

Pours hazy pear with floaties into a willi. Bright white head with good retention recedes to coat surface. Pineapple, kumquat and guava aromas. Soft with sweet kumquat and pear upfront turning to honey and golden syrup in the sweet, lasting finish.
