Canned 9/19/18, drunk 10/18/18.
Clear (!!), deep, dehydrated urine colored brass-golden. White head immediately fizzles to nothing.
Dank, weed-like spice in the nose mixes with ripe nectarine, apricot jelly and meyer lemon. Rich, robust yellow fruits galore, with strong, but not overdone honey-like malt and clean, bubble gum-free yeast. No alcohol, pine or resin.
In the mouth it's soft, succulent and full of spicy herbal honey notes, juicy nectarine, apricot and a lingering, dank, spicy weed character. Sumptuous malts are nonetheless well-attenuated, but make for a very soft texture in concert with the extremely low, but very tight carbonation. Lingering marmalade, gooseberry, nectarine and weed. Really nice and shockingly free of alcohol. ~~8% is definitely the sweet spot for DIPAs, in my opinion.
