Drop this fruit bomb on your tongue and enjoy the explosive tropical vacation tastes! No, seriously. Dose is trip-tastic journey into DIPA-vile and you are the sole traveler. Guava, passion fruit, papaya, and citrus swirls guide you through a pint of this. Whoa, man. I'm tracing.

Pours clear deep gold into a tulip. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes leaving scant sheets. Pine and resin aromas. Thick with hot caramel and toffee upfront turning to resin and pine in the warm, lasting sweet honey finish. Nice west coast throwback, but a little sweet.

Pour from growler into nonic pint glass from the brewery. Appearance is lightly hazy light orange-yellow, no sparkle, finger-width white foamy head, with nice lacing. Aroma is tropical fruits and citrus, lightly musky. Taste is citrusy more than fruit, bitter grapefruit. Palate light to medium bodied with smooth, slick texture, average carbonation, dry quite bitter astringent finish. Overall, has the elements of a really nice beer but it doesn't come together. Too bitter.

Fresh 32oz growler shared 9/22/17.
Bright, fiery, copper-amber-golden with a light haze, having seemingly settled out quite a bit in the fridge. White head atop is small-to-medium-sized and slowly falls to cover.
Mousey/earthy/funky, sort of weird hop notes in the nose perhaps show wet cat or some other undesirable hop notes; though it's not a major note. Unfortunately, behind it, is mostly pine resin, sharp and strong with a lingering boozy finish, as well. Grainy malts do nothing to soften/balance this.
Sharp and bitter in the mouth with high acidity, tons of resin and unripened pineapple-like character. Astringent with rather loose carbonation, to boot. Malt is way to sparse and provides no reprieve from this assault. Lingering strong resin. Almost nothing enjoyable here.

32 oz growler. Almost clear gold color. Aroma is a little catty. A tad pissy. White bread, onion. Taste is mild cat pee, not overwhelming, big amount of herbal pine. Bitterness is overwhelming, moderate. Overall, a bit catty and lots pine.
