Orange gold, clear, small white head, sticky. Lots of caramel malt, pineapple tangerine hops, no booze surprisingly, floral. Quite sweet, good hop flavor but it’s a bit dominated by all of that malt sugar, finishes sweet and malty, pleasant malt flavor but it’s just not how I like my DIPAs. Slick, heavy feel, no booze but a lot of sugar.
