We dry-hopped this big, hazy NE-style DIPA with Wai-iti hops from New Zealand to impart bold aromas of fresh peach and apricot, while Citra and Mosaic hops add subtle hints of lime and mango. We recommend grabbing a 6-pack and running straight to the river!

Slightly hazy copper and nice light amber coloured body with a very large and even better looking microfoamed tan head, three centimetres tall and standing strong. Aroma of very dank apple, white grape and peach juice, all with some apricots, stone fruits, light malt and deep hop scents toward the end, with some light alcohol noticeable, but basically - it's just juice! Medium to Full-bodied; Sweet, sticky and syrupy hop bite at first that shows a light hit of pineapple, mangoes, white grapes, peaches and more apricot notes (and pure fructose from the stone fruits) than I could imagine, with some noticeable alcohol, but the deep and pungent malts and especially body, make this seem almost as a strong ale. Aftertaste is deep, super sweet, syrupy and hoppy (but not bitter), with a long-lasting stone fruit and white grape note, tons of fructose and a deep body that shows almost a fruit beer (Imperial-ish) at play here, instead of the Wai-iti hops (never had them before, I don't remember). Overall, good and quite interesting - not my favourite hops, but not bad and clearly not bitter at all - great to sample fresh and locally! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Manassas, Virginia on 12-August-2020 for US$5,79 sampled at my house here in Washington on 16-August-2020.

Pint can, WW. Pours murky orange with a small off-white head. Fresh juicy orange, pineapple, and melon, along with a hint of stink bug. Flavor is peach juice, melon, green leaf, apricot. Good flavor.
