Pours hazy amber with a thick white head. Aroma of citra hops, pine. Taste is resinous and fully hopped. Palate contains tropical fruits, hops. Really fruity and full bodied. Great DIPA.

Can pour into shaker pint glass from Julio's Liquors. Appearance is deeply hazy, orange-light-brown-yellow (depending on the light) with light sparkle, finger-width, pillowy, off-white head with decent retention and light, soapy lacing. Aroma is muted citrus and fruit offset by light bread. Taste is sweet fruit and orange-predominant citrus along with dank bitterness, late melon rind and lingering burnt match. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, soft carbonation until the swallow when you get a lively zing at the tip of the tongue, some nice alcohol warmth and dry, crisp, lightly bitter finish. Overall, there's a fair amount going on here but the aroma is pretty tame and the initial fruit/citrus seem to compete a little versus complementing each other. If those were resolved, this would be amazing. Still, props for complexity.
