Setouchi Beer x Shiokaze Shikoku Showcase: Hazy DIPA Grapefruit, mango, peach 8.5% Opaque golden honey orange color with a thick fluffy off-white head of foam. This was still chilled but had warmed up quite a bit. The aroma has some dank double IPA oily hoppiness to it with citrus and pine notes. Fairly full in body with a slick mouthfeel. The taste gave some sweet mango with dank piney hops with pithy grapefruit also showing up. The label says peach but I didn’t detect any. Very much a double IPA on the sweeter bitter end of the spectrum and while it looks hazy/opaque the taste isn’t really juicy. Really good stuff and worth trying. Out of the newer breweries Setouchi seems pretty solid in my book.
