From tap. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is dense grapefruity and solid hoppy. Bitter, solid fruity, crisp hoppy and light peachy. Lingering dense fruity and bitter far finish.

The beer is a nice bright gold. It’s perfectly transparent or near enough. Medium-sized head, white with lots of fine bubbles. The aroma is a pretty standard mix of citrus and tropical flavors with a danker edge and more sugariness than their normal wheelhouse. There’s a cotton candy sweetness to the malt flavor. Pine, lemon, pineapple, mango, tangerine. I’ll go back on my previous comment a bit; it’s a bit lighter on the citrus than most of their hoppy stuff. Tends more toward dank and musky fruitiness. Taste is sweeter than expected. Moderate booze. A bit of bland bitterness. This isn’t really my favorite hop combination. It’s resiny and heavy. Seems to lack the brighter highlights. Carbonation seems normal. Feel is pretty full. A bit sticky. Nice hop oiliness. I put a lot of blame/credit on Cellarmaker, but my taste has been trending away from DIPAs to lighter hoppy fare. That said, this is still quite tasty. It’s just a bit too sweet and abrasive and uses a combination of hop notes that I’m not loving entirely. Edit: New batch in bottles. I like this batch a bit better. Still, it wouldn’t have been my choice for their first bottled hoppy beer.
