57 cl. can @ the villa in Üxheim, bought @ a gas station in Orlando, FL.
Clear golden with a white head. Citrus aroma with tropical fruit notes. Sweet taste with a medium bitter finish. Another great IPA.

Last beer in Seattle, draft pint at the airport waiting for the flight to Orange County (John Wayne) on 17th August 2025. Clean and clear golden body, white crown which turned into a wisp and collar fairly slowly. Fruity aroma and initial taste, tropical fruits in fact, light piney notes as it warmed a little. Solid IPA all round.

Can sent by Elysian for my comment. Much less haze than the Juice Dust. An orange-gold beer with very small floaties under a thin head. Smell has less aggressive fruit, clearly from the hops. Taste has more of the standard hop bitterness, the West Coast version, with fruit notes to the background. A little more malt backbone, too.

Much hazier pour than the main Space Dust, yes, like some orange and Grapefruit combination. Smell has plenty of grapefruit to it, and then some orange. Taste emphasizes the citrus notes by being pretty "juicy." Some hop bitterness makes its way in here, too.
This example does demonstrate the balance that's needed in making an IPA with both fruity hop character AND actual fruit juice. This beers seems to have let the bittering hops go in favor of matching citrus notes. Although the nose does show up a bit of Citra once I get my nose into the glass.

19.2 oz can, sent by Elysian's PR. Surprised I haven't gotten to this one before. But here we are. Pours a big spongy head, of course, over an orangey, slightly hazy beer. The nose offers more of a fruit character than a Citra and Amarillo hop load would suggest. Orange, maybe some pineapple and other tropical fruit. The taste keeps up the citrus with only moderate bitterness. Alcohol is present, though not over powering. Lightly toasted malts keep out of the way, letting the featured parts of the beer work through.

Pours a hazy gold-pineapple, with smallish head. Aroma is bread and biscuit, some pine, maybe a slight bit of tropical fruit. Flavors follow. Mouthfeel is definitely thinner than what I'd expect from a double IPA. Moderate hop bitterness in the finish.
