32oz crowler pours with an odd lookig murky dirty brown colored body that has thin copper to gold hued highlights and supports a nice off white head of foam. I don't think I've seen many IPA variants this dark in color as it looks more like an Old Ale. The aroma sets up notes of guava and mango muddled a bit by malts and blunted pine too woody like hoppiness. The taste delivers a blend of sweet malts and sweet dark fruity esters rolling quickly into a moderate degree of guava to cantaloupe tropical fruitiness created by the blend of hops and ester malt sweetness. To midway the bitter hoppiness grows just enough to provide a sense of balance against the sweetness. The bitterness is vaguely pine to floral to spicy hoppiness.
