(950ml growler from Alimentation L'Impact, Quebec City) Pours moderately hazy bright orange with a decent white head and lots of lace. Aroma is very sweet and seems heavily estery in profile, with some overripe banana/bubblegum vibes joining sweet pulpy orange, melon, fresh flowers, slighlty peppery hop cones, citrus bitters, some sweet doughy malt. Flavour somewhat matches the nose, quite sweet pale malt with a hint of caramel and lightly toasted grain, plupy orange, overripe melon/papaya, estery hints of banana/bubblegum, candied fruit, soft florals, becoming semi-sweet in the finish with light citrus bitterness and a little peppery green onion. Medium-full oily body with soft carbonation. Solid stuff but rather on the sweet and estery side, despite not really being in the ABV range I'd call DIPA. Prefer the dry nature of normal TdP.
