Got in a trade with spelingchampeon. 12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 5/9/2018. Pours slightly hazy deep golden amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, cracker, toasted bread, light honey/caramel, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, cracker, toasted bread, light honey/caramel, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, cracker, toasted bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy, and sticky/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Minimal warming alcohol for 8.5%. Overall this is a fantastic DIPA! All around outstanding complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and pretty refreshing to drink with the moderately bitter/drying finish; not too aggressive. Loved the Cascade, Mosaic, CTZ, Amarillo, and Galaxy hop bill as expected. Very juicy, vibrant, dank, and earthy balanced hop complexity; nice bready malt backbone, with no residual sweetness. Very well attenuated for the ABV, one of the smoothest DIPAs I have had. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazing style example.

Half growler. Lots of juicy berries and berry syrup with kettle lacto. I mean, I know that's the description but tats what it is. The fruit is strong enough to cover up any plastic kettle sourness. Tartness makes me want to drink more.

At Nickel and Dime. Cask. I just head tangerine tee time and this is much smoother. Not so much a one note kettle sour. Softer cask body helps. Light plastic kettle souring apparent. The adjuncts to the cask add a nice complexity though I would never be able to say rose hips or wine grapes. Nice easy sipping light tart beer.
