Massive dry hop thickiness

Fruit abolishment massive fruit stuff

120518. Mind the violent pour. Super Rocky road like melted ice cream notes but get more berry and vanilla notes than expected, maybe the marshmallow and almonds weirded it out. I still like it but weirdly Rocky road. Expect it. Taste it. Embrace it.

Smooth delish french toast.

Can from Craft Brewed. Pours a hazy gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Great lacing the whole way down the glass. Huge fruit forward nose with durian, peach, guava aromas followed by lots of creamsicle notes. Smooth and creamy on the palate Sweet with more peach, guava and strong lychee flavors. Sweetness is there, but not overly so. Light piney bitterness that kicks in mid-palate and lingers.

Got in a BIF from KMitch. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 8/30/2018. Pours very hazy deep golden amber/light orange color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with amazing retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of mandarin orange juice, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, blueberry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt notes; with good strength. A bit more muted than expected. Taste of huge mandarin orange juice, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, blueberry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Mild pine, zesty, herbal, floral, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of mandarin orange juice, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, blueberry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; with a solid malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Slightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Minimal warming alcohol for 8.1%. Overall this is an incredible NEDIPA. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV, with the mildly bitter/drying finish. Amazingly soft feel. Feels like mostly Mosaic/Galaxy. Insanely juicy and slightly dank/earthy hops; perfect wheat/oat/malt backbone, not overly sweet/heavy from lingering dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazing/perfectly executed style example all the way through.
