Hazy yellow kinda beige pour, with a big white head. The aroma has some big pine resin notes and some strong citrus zest. Yeasty and soft cereals aromas round it out. Some melon and stone fruit also make an appearance, with a pithy strong bitterness. This could use a tad more malt balance, and the hops fade quite a bit near the end, and they smooth out to a pretty much only orange oil flavour.

(On tap @ the brewpub, Aug 5/19) Pours opaque dull orange-gold with a thick white head and lace. Notes of sticky sweet mango and peach over brioche malt with accents of more floral papaya/melon and orange, moderate dank leafy catty Citra resins through the middle, finishing off dry and moderately bitter with the resinous aspects coming to the fore and leading to some hop burn and a bit of alcohol warmth. Medium plus creamy body with soft carbonation. Solid but a bit over-bitter for my tastes, a demi-NE DIPA.

Can from Halo. Pours a murky golden fading to beige with a solid sheet of head. Nose is resin and citrus hops. Taste isn't as hop-heavy up front as I would have expected, resin and some tangerine certainly, but the bitterness and resin build toward the finish, burn a bit, and linger. Overall a little rougher than I would have hoped.
