Hazy pale gold yellow appearance with a tight white foamy head, decent retention, modest foamy lacing. Grapefruit, pineapple, mellow hop notes. Moderate to full body, creamy, moderate carbonation.

a: super creamy looking, hazy dark orange color with a creamy off-white head that pours 2 fingers but fades to a 1/2 finger
s: nice pungent, almost dank tropical fruity aroma hits you as soon as you crack the can open. pineapple, tangerine, guava, orange zest, and a bit of dank grapefruit. candied strawberries and a creamy sweetness. some nice citrus bitterness in here as well as a touch of raw hop aroma. a hint of caramel and crackers. very cream and pungent pineapple in the aroma
t: creamy pineapple, mango, and melon upfront. a touch of grapefruit bitterness behind that with a touch of raw hops which actually helps and isn't a negative thing. creamsicle ice cream and some orange sorbet. loads of citra in this with some mild orange zest on the back as well for balance
m: super creamy, fluffy medium mouthfeel with low carbonation. just what you want from a hazy
o: this is an awesome DDH hazy beer. super creamy, tropical but mellow. faint bitterness for balance, and has quite a bit of drinkability even though it's so creamy. great beer for the style

Pours cloudy yellow gold color with a 1 finger thick white creamy head that faded slowly and left very nice foamy rings as it went down. It smells of tangerine, pineapple, grapefruit, orange peel, papaya, tropical fruit, citrus hops, fresh cut grass, tea leaf, piney notes, fresh cut flowers, biscuit and honey.
Tastes of tangerine, pineapple, grapefruit, honeydew melon, orange peel, piney notes, papaya, apricot, tropical fruit, citrus hops, fresh cut grass, tea leaf, biscuit, light peppery spices, fresh cut flowers, herbs and honey. The malt backbone is mild but adds enough balance to help keep this brew smooth and easy to drink. The bitterness helps mask the 7.4% ABV masterfully.

Thick orange juice bright golden hazy look with a thinning white head. Piney dank forward nose with some sour fruits behind, interesting. Very even tempered fruity dank flavor with low bite. Great slightly creamy feel with the right amount of moderate carbonation.

On tap at the WOB in Bethesda. Served in a small stemmed tulip. Cloudy yellow with a small white almost creamy head. Aroma is almost not there, more herbal hoppiness. Taste is Not particularly fruity or citrusy. Coating and a bit chalky. A less carbonated cloudy Zima.

Hazy honey gold color on the pour. Thin finger of bone head floats on top and the beer does have legs.
Citrus and pine on the nose. A bit of dankness coming up.
Like the nose citrus and pine on the taste. Does have a nice balance of malt background for balance.
The mouth is pretty light for a 7.4 ABV IPA. Does have a bit of bitter hops that linger for a minute.
Nicely balanced IPA. I like the fruity pine that fits the style. The malt balance is real nice. Not making the bitter overwhelming. The finish ids a bit slick and the mouth is not really to much to take on. The beer does have a bit of alcohol warming to it as it comes to temperature. Nice IPA and well crafted. Cheers.

From the 16oz pint can recieved in trade from mdfb79
Duvel Tulip style glass
Sunburst golden orange body, unfilitered look. A thick capper of khaki tan foam forms and then slowly resides back down into the glass hugging its walls. The nose is invitingly juicy with grapefruit, lemon zest, earthy dank and light floral pines. Flavors follow in a bit of a jumbled fashion. There is a moderate high level of earthy bitterness with a sugary fruit malt balance and soft creamy texture. More citrus, pine, and dank notes. Nice bitter pop to it.
My first OH brew and it was just okay for me. Solid IPA but not too remarkable. Not sure if this is one of their better offerings here but glad for the experience. Would still like to have again for more research.
