Poured from a 16 oz can dated September 28, 2023. Aroma is rather fruity with lots of mango, lychee and passion fruit. Lighter notes of stone fruit, tropical citrus and pineapple. Light cracker malt notes and light alcohol notes. Pours a hazy, somewhat dull, golden straw color with a medium large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Fairly high amount of lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Moderately strong bitterness and light alcohol notes. Nice fruity hop notes with lots of passion fruit, mango, lychee and stone fruit. Lighter notes of tropical citrus and pineapple. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid hazy DIPA. Nice fruity hop notes in the aroma and flavor. Good sweetness that accentuates the hop fruitiness and hides the alcohol, but not over the top. Not overly bitter, but enough to carry into the finish.
