Referred to here as a double IPA. It poured up on tap at the Bressi Ranch location where it exhibits a clear gold body that supports a good looking nearly tight dirty white head of foam that leaves behind sheet lacing. The aroma offers up malt sweetened mango that gives way slowly to grapefruit bitter citrus hoppiness. The taste pushes mango and juicy tangelo right at you. It then quickly adds in bitter grapefruit like citrus hoppiness. It just stays that way right into a pleasing hoppy resiny citrus finish lined with a mild sweet malts and citrus hop flavor. This is dangerously drinkable. Wow!
