Fresh 32oz growler shared 9/22/17 by Stacey, thanks!
Borderline soupy, maize-amber-golden, with a small, white head showing moderate-to-low retention.
Grapefruit, lime, mango and light pine all play nicely together and the peach is folded nicely in, as well, and I doubt you'd pick it out blind, thinking it just another hop note. Sparse malting shows light cracker and bread while a touch of resin builds up on the finish, though nothing major. With warming and breathing more soft, succulent, juicy lime-mango emerges.
Juicy up front with papaya, peach, graperfruit, lime and mango notes all prominent. Very dry and even a bit thin through the middle, on account of the very sparse malt. Peach sugar adds back some sweetness and warming exposes more softness. Very juicy, fruity, flavorful DIPA without much resin. Bitterness is ample and there is lots of citrus, but it plays nicely, for the most part. Engaging carbonatino, no flaw or alcohol noted.

32 oz. growler, slightly hazy yellow. Aroma is SOOOOO much peach, light citrus. The flavor is surprisingly balanced between hops and peach purée. Hop bitterness is just enough to remind you it is an IPA. The brewer knew just the right amount of purée to use. Super tasty.
