Can, several of them, over the holiday weekend. Vibrant golden color with a thick finger of white head. Thick lacing throughout. Aroma is pure hops... citrus, tropical fruits, and pine. Tastes very flavorful with hops. Sweet and bitters come together seamlessly. Hop nectar flavors of citra, pineapple, and pine. Very big, but very smooth. Loving this style of DIPA.

At a friend’s wedding: pours copper with white head. Aroma is lightly piny with citrusy notes. Taste is not weird or super crazy, but a lightly bitter APA that succeeds in all the standard ways.

Can thanks to Matt. Consumed very quickly at first via the Chuck Jenkins AKA the shotgun method. It went down great. Big tropical notes, biscuit, light orange peel. Soft and mellow. Very good. It hurt me bad though...my fault.
