In der Nase etwas plädderich, süßlich, künstlich. Im Trunk ebenso süß, etwas Getreide, Malz, etwas besser als die 0815 Pale Lager Dinger, aber eben nicht mehr - 0816 halt ;)

16 oz can from Tavour. Hazy, milky golden, small soft ring of foamy head. Fruity aroma, mixture of both citrus and tropical. Taste continues more with the fruity blend, coupled with a slight, stinging bitterness. Nice weight and feel.

Canned 8/30/18, drunk 1/12/19. Clear amber, bronze-maize. White head to a ring. Smells sweetly of caramel and toffee with light herb and dryer bread. Clean and quite lovely with no alcohol or heavy hop. Really love seeing these cans that have a lot of relative age on them. This shows good attenuation, honey, caramel, brown bread and light cracker. Noble hops and good attenuation keep it crisp and balanced. Maybe a touch too dry, even. But quite good.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from Julio's Liquors. Appearance is hazy yellow (urine-like) with fair sparkle, finger-width white foamy head with fair retention and nice soapy lacing. Aroma is sweet orange-lemon citrus. Taste is sweet orange-lemon citrus with some offsetting dank bitterness. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, pretty straightforward citrus, which isn't a bad thing. If anything, might be a bit muted flavor/aroma as 4 months old. Good for a session--initially thought it was straight IPA.

Canned 9/19/18, drunk 10/18/18.
Clear (!!), deep, dehydrated urine colored brass-golden. White head immediately fizzles to nothing.
Dank, weed-like spice in the nose mixes with ripe nectarine, apricot jelly and meyer lemon. Rich, robust yellow fruits galore, with strong, but not overdone honey-like malt and clean, bubble gum-free yeast. No alcohol, pine or resin.
In the mouth it's soft, succulent and full of spicy herbal honey notes, juicy nectarine, apricot and a lingering, dank, spicy weed character. Sumptuous malts are nonetheless well-attenuated, but make for a very soft texture in concert with the extremely low, but very tight carbonation. Lingering marmalade, gooseberry, nectarine and weed. Really nice and shockingly free of alcohol. ~~8% is definitely the sweet spot for DIPAs, in my opinion.
