Poured from a 16 oz can dated February 1 2024. Aroma is very fruity and hop forward with lots of passion fruit, guava, mango, strawberry and peach notes. Lighter tropical citrus. Light cracker malt notes and faint alcohol notes. Pours a very hazy, golden-orange color with a medium large, thick, pillowy white head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers on the edges. Medium lacing and faint legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Medium high bitterness and faint alcohol notes. Moderately strong fruity hop notes with passion fruit, mango, strawberry and guava. Lighter tropical citrus notes and a hint of dank resin that lingers in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid hazy DIPA. Super fruity and a bit sweet with moderate bitterness and light alcohol notes. Hints of hop burn and alcohol in the finish.
