Pours hazy gold into a tulip. White head with little retention recedes to hug rim. Sour mango aromas. Thick with hot caramel and mango front to back. Lasting creamy caramel finish.

16 oz can shared by Tj. Aroma has candied orange, herbs, cooking spices. Flavor follows with a a touch of floral / grapefruit-ish bitterness. Texture and body are they should be. Pretty good.
Aroma is candied citrus, orange, pineapple, light citrus pith. Taste follows with a balanced finish.

On tap as part of a flight at the brewery. Appearance is opaque dark yellow with trace sparkle, thin cap of off-white head quickly fading to a ring with light rings of lacing. Aroma is strong citrus and pine. Taste is strong citrus and pine as aroma. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, good strength of aroma and flavor but fairly conventional DIPA.
