Can from Corti Bros. Pours hazy gold with a large, foamy white head that laced a bit going down. Aroma of guava, passionfruit and melon. More than med body. Flavor is the aroma plus earth, citrus and arguably many other things. It is complex. Juicy, not dry, but far from sticky. Moderately bitter. Exquisite flavor combination.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated February 14, 2023. Aroma is hop forward and fruity with nice notes of tropical citrus, passion fruit, lychee, guava and grapefruit with hints of berry. Light cracker malt notes and light alcohol notes. Pours a hazy, full, golden straw color with a medium large, thick, fluffy, white head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers on these edges. Moderately high lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with cracker malt notes. Fairly strong, assertive bitterness with light alcohol notes. Fairly strong hop notes of passion fruit, berry, and tropical citrus. Lighter notes of stone fruit, pine resin and guava. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a really nice DIPA. Fruity and hop forward without being overly sweet and juicy. Balanced bitterness with nice malt notes and well hidden alcohol.
