Can. Hazy orange gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth airy palate, a mild dryness, good fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Soft pale malts, a soft creamy sweetness. The smooth and light nature of the mellow piney hops bely the fair hop spice nip that follows. A rich hop fruit array ensues, touches of marmalade, citrus peel, melon, candy fruits, a little red berries, light tropical fruits. Airy smooth finish. Yeah, very nice dipa. Does keep its cards close to it's chest to start but, a bit of unhurried assessment reveals the multiple layers of hop goodness on offer here. By the way, Cats ain't people, I've shared a living space with a few and they are far superior to people...

8.4% version. Pours hazy pear into a tulip. Bright white head with little retention recedes to mottle surface. Hot pineapple and melon aromas. Soft with sweet pineapple and hot caramel upfront turning to dry mango skin and tangerine pith in the medium length finish.

Can at Brookside Market in Naples, FL - turbid light gold - frothy gold - fairly sweet, but with tropical complexity and soft, non-abrasive bitterness that both make the sweetness seem necessary and balanced - lots of citrus and mango on the tail end - bitterness doesn’t last all the way through the finish, so ends a little sugary, but otherwise nice.
