DDH DIPA with Citra and a new experimental hop; HBC1019
Incredibly soft with overwhelming notes of sweet citrus, candied banana, peaches and cream. Tropical smoothie in a pint glass.

Pours hazy dark pear into a tulip. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes leaving trailing sheets. Melon, papaya and slight plastic aromas. Soft and sweet with melon, bananas flambe and dusty papaya skin front to back. Lasting dry guava finish.

Can (8/25/23) pour from The Beer Store, Salem. It's a bright yellow with finger-width white head and light lacing. Aroma is strong citrus, stone fruit, candied tropical fruit. Taste follows aroma, a bit more lemon citrus than the aroma. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with creamy, smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. A different flavor profile, which is intriguing, but not sure it matches the description per se. Will have to watch HBC1019.

16 oz can shared by tfontana. Thanks! Aroma is similar to Lemon Pledge and floral hops. Flavor is similar to the aroma, but not in a chemical artificial character. The hop combo is just very different. Which is a good thing. Odd combo. ( in a good way)
