(On tap @ the brewery, Aug 6/21 & in 473ml can) Pours near opaque orange-gold with a decent white head and some lace. Aroma is intense dried yellow mangoes, sweet orange pulp, papaya, citrus peels, soft dank edges, really juicy fruity Citra explosion, subtle brioche-type malt backbone, bare twinge of alcohol with the juice. Flavour is again dominated by intense dried yellow mangoes up front, almost like taking a bite of one more than a sip; backing notes here are creamy papaya and overripe peach, orange pulp and peel, perfumed tropical flowers just avoiding soapiness, sweet brioche malts, again just a hint of alcohol. Sweet through into the finish which is only slightly drying and intensely fruity/floral, some slight citrus bitters and a little dankness, bit of a powder candy vibe too, very low bitterness. Medium-full oily body, average carbonation, slight aclohol warmth. Beautiful Citra DIPA, perhaps rounder and sweeter than Double Triple Citra with less of a green edge (due to process differences it seems). Only the slight alcohol edge to hold against it.
