Nice moderate clean tartness. Fairly fruity/hoppy. Not bad balance on this one. Sort of a stone fruit accent.

okay foam on a golden body, muddy sour fruit on the nose of no distinction, maybe some hops in there. Flavour is reasonably bright sourness tempered by some sweet hops to keep it real. Nice carbonation and good oiliness. A balanced sour.

Nice foam on foggy yellow liquid, the aroma is acidic rotting pineapples with a hint of resin and sugar, not too bad but not kind of great either. Flavour is some bitter pine without much sweetness. Mouthfeel is okay, somewhat dry and also a bit oily. I found this weak, more on the vegetal side without any malt or sweetness to round it out.

Sweet flavour of caramel malt, orange peel, peach, mango and pine resin in a dry, bitter grass finish. Medium body with a slick texture and average carbonation. Pretty solid.

473mL can, pours a hazy golden with a medium white head. Aroma brings out stone fruits, resinous hops, bit of chalk. Flavour is a bit muffled, with resinous hops, low-moderate yeast / chalk, and bready malt. Pronounced bitterness on the finish. Not as yeast as other hazies, which is nice, but it's not all that exciting. Decent.

A lighter IPA with pale malt and some subtropical, but somewhat indistinct hops. Low-medium bitterness. It’s not bad, but it was a bit forgettable…of course when you drink every IPA on the market I don’t actually expect them all to make an impression.

Managed to miss this one the first 17 times it was released, so good to see it again. Dull amber colour, a bit hazy, and it has a thin head. There's a little bit of chewiness to the aroma, and some piney hop notes. On the palate, it's boozy right up the front, and retronasal and everywhere in between, meshing with a fair amount of hop bitterness. Unbright hops might have some marmalade sort of orange but the crystal malt is probably more prominent. Finishes alcoholic and bitter. So it does fit with what this pocket of DIPA is all about, it's just that pocket isn't that great to drink.
