Can to tulip.
Appearance: copper color with some transparency and a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: pineapple to mixed tropical fruit cup of hoppy tones; light clean malts
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet quality; finishes through the tropical fruit cup of hops
Texture: medium bodied, good sipper; some smoothness but also a light hop sharpness telling me this was brewed on the West coast
Overall: lovely DIPA brewed in a great West coast aligned fashion. I'd bang again.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: soft rustic amber/color with a two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: slight white pepper, floral and earthy hops, light candied peach, sweet wheat, oranges, and coriander
Flavor: brings the sweet to the spicy in a nice balanced way; mild aftertaste of spicy tones
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, the spices do not distract as I thought they would have which leads to a fair smooth tone along my tongue; finishes semi-crisp with some pepper
Overall: what an "odd duck" of a beer, somewhat a "witbier" combined with an IPA, I guess? I think I could come back to this.
