Pours hazy gold into a tulip. White head with little retention recedes to coat nothing. Summer pit fruit and citrus aromas. Sharp with peach and apricot front to back. Medium lacto, pith and marshmallow finish.

Can: (label reads 8.9%....but doesn't mention being the double dry-hopped version...so I'll put it here.) Cloudy and particulate-laden light yellow with a thick slightly off-white head. Nice orange/tangerine aroma. Taste is piney, grapefruit-peel, orange malt. Good, steady bittering......a very smooth and soft 2IPA.
