Can. Light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly off white head. Palate is light, minerally crisp and fairly dry. Thin malts barely abate the hop bitterness. Crisp but bitterish citrus and citric peel. Spicy bitter grapefruit and thin orange peel. Thin dry spicy bitter finish. Somewhat thin and aggressive but not hating this. Some passion fruit.

Poured into a tulip, the appearance was a soft burnt caramel color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that slid off fairly quick. Light lace.
The aroma had some sweet onion danky portions, light sweet grass, some floral sweetness and a light malt backbone.
The flavor blended fairly nice between the danky portions and the floral hop tones. Malty sweetness lends a hand of a nice balance to the hop components. Light aftertaste of the malts and the danky sweet hops. Came through fairly clean. Finish was slightly sticky, but acceptable along with the onion sweet hops.
The palate was about medium bodied with a pretty good sipping quality. ABV was noticeable. Though I didn’t smell or taste it, the booziness was felt. Carbonation felt good.
Overall, pretty good DIPA for the most part. Thanks for the can, Henry.
