Poured from a 16 oz can dated August 29, 2023. Aroma is hop forward and fruity with lots of orange pulp, guava, berries and melon. Light cracker malt notes and light alcohol notes. Pours a hazy, dull, golden straw color with a large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Moderate lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Moderately high bitterness and light alcohol notes. Flavor is fairly hoppy with lots of orange, guava, pineapple and lime with lighter notes of melon, berries and coconut. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid DIPA. It has really nice hop character that's fruity and juicy but not overly so and well balanced with citrus hop notes. Balanced malt notes and sweetness with well hidden alcohol notes.

Can purchased at Ale Arsenal. Pours a dark yellow with full, chunky white head that lingers well. Lacing pulls down the side of the glass. Aroma is orange, grapefruit and orange peel. Flavor is overt juiciness - citrus and pink grapefruit. A bit of rind in the flavor. Sight bitter. Flavor lingers long. Alcohol is well hidden.
