Got in a BIF from KMitch. 12 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Pours moderately hazy golden amber/light orange color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with awesome retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, red apple, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, red apple, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, red apple, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy hop earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and spicy alcohol. Medium-plus carbonation and medium-full body; with a smooth, creamy/bready/sticky, fairly resinous/rindy, and lightly slick balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Light-moderate increasing warmth of 10%, with mild booze lingering after the finish. Overall this is an excellent DIPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to sip on for the big ABV with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish. Not overly aggressive. Nice and pretty unique Azacca, Lemon Zest, Apollo, Wakatu profile. Very juicy, dank, and earthy balanced hop complexity; sizable pale/wheat malt backbone, but not overly sweet/heavy from lingering dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example. No complaints other than the warming/boozy finish.

Keg at BD Abz. It pours lightly hazy pale yellow - gold with a medium white head. The aroma is zingy, tangy, sour pineapple and sherbet straw. The taste is crisp, dry, quite bright, zingy, touch of acidity, sour pineapple, sherbet, sour candy and slightly lactic with a drying finish. Not a huge amount to it, but its incredibly refreshing and drinkable.
