Poured from a 16 oz can dated July 29, 2020. Aroma is juicy and very hop forward with lots of coconut, pineapple, lychee, mango, passion fruit and citrus notes. Light cracker malt notes and hints of oats and alcohol. Pours a hazy, pale, dull golden straw color with a medium large, pillowy, white head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers. Moderately high lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt and oat notes. Moderate bitterness and light alcohol spice. Fairly strong, juicy hop notes with pineapple, tropical citrus, passion fruit, coconut and some resin notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice DIPA with that sabro hop notes I have been craving. A bit too resinous in the finish, but still really nice. Alcohol is well hidden and everything is carried nicely by a light malt profile.
