It’s never more than five days to the finish line, but this delightful Double IPA will keep you there in spirit all week long. Bright, citrusy, and tropical aroma. Tangerine and mango flavors are supported by a biscuity backbone.

HOPS: Centennial, Citra, Mosaic

West coast all the way! WCDIPA, with a mix of old and new hop profiles. I get some pine and papaya, with a peppery earthiness on the back. There’s a bit of welcomed bitterness, too. This is all hops, low malt, and i like it.

Gold in color with great clarity. There’s a fingernail of dishwater white on top. Moderate lacing. The aroma is of lime and citrus hops. I’m tasting lime, citrus, and lemon hops with some light crackery malt. The mouth is sticky, crisp, and refreshing.

Pretty standard non hazy IPA copper color with a fluffy white head. It smells like pine and tangerine with hints of tropical fruit and a touch of dankness. The taste to me is almost like mangoes soaked in syrup from canned Mandarin oranges. It's got a satisfying bitter finish and goes down very easily. A great non hazy DIPA.

From the can, it pours an amber color with a white head and leaves lacing as you enjoy it. Scent is citrusy with malty undertones. Taste is citrusy with some bitterness.

Easy drinking but overall not very impressive. Would drink again but not going out of my way.

Bought direct from the brewery. Poured from the can straight into a pint glass. Light copper color. Can see through the glass. Bubbly white head quickly gives way to some lacing. Hop flavor including notes of pine. The carbonation adds some crispness and makes it refreshing, while hiding the slightly higher 7.9% ABV. Will definitely drink again.

Clears the highest bar. My standard is Pliny the Elder. It makes me forget I can’t get Pliny in Illinois.
