Poured from a 16 oz can dated September 20, 2022. Aroma is hop forward with a lot of citra character - lots of grapefruit and tropical citrus with lighter gooseberry and passion fruit. Quite a bit of dank, piney, oily resin notes. Light cracker malt notes and light alcohol notes. Pours a fairly clear, brilliant gold color with a large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Fairly high lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with medium light cracker malt notes. Fairly strong bitterness and light alcohol notes. Lots of tropical citrus, grapefruit and orange with lighter passion fruit and gooseberry notes. Moderate dank, oily, pine resin notes that linger into the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a super solid DIPA. Great malt profile, bitterness and alcohol notes. Solid citra hop character but the nelson notes are pretty light. Would have preferred more nelson.
