Poured from a 16 oz can dated March 23, 2020. Aroma is hop forward with moderate hop notes of orange, grapefruit, and tropical fruit with some dank, resin, pine notes as well. Light cracker malt notes and hints of alcohol. Pours a hazy, dull, murky, golden orange with a fairly large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers. Fairly high lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Moderate bitterness and light alcohol spice. Fairly strong hop notes of orange, tangerine, pineapple and dank, resin, pine notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall a pretty solid DIPA. The hop aroma has likely degraded a bit in the 6 weeks since it was canned but the flavor was great.
