Is it a double IPA from outer space? We loaded this up with hops specifically designed to derive flavors of tropical pineapple & some of that sweet dank.
Note: this is a distinct beer than the more recent Dank Side of the moon entry; in 2015 this was a filtered West Coast double IPA. Reviews for the hazy version should be entered here:

On tap at the brewery. Aroma is slightly malty with some moderate cracker and faint biscuit and caramel. Lots of hop character, piney with some light onion notes. Very dank. Pours a slightly hazy, gold with a small, white head that lingers for quite some time on the edges. Moderate lacing and small legs. Flavor has a light sweetness with some medium light cracker and biscuit notes and light caramel. Moderate woodsy and pine hop notes with some light onion character. Medium high bitterness and some light alcohol spice. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice and dank IPA. Good background malt notes and tasty hop character.

The beer is a bright yellow gold. Pretty much clear. Smallish white head. The aroma is full of juicy hop flavor. Big on grape, tangerine, pineapple, mango, papaya, blackberry, wildflowers. Really nice stuff. Pretty mild malt sweetness. It’s there in a beer of this size but doesn’t get in the way at all. Mild bitterness. Tons of hop flavor in the taste. Excellent flavor. Some malt sugariness, again pretty much just there for the hops. Mouth coating hoppiness. Long lasting aftertaste of hop fruitiness. Smooth. Easy to drink.
