As I write this, the notes need to be updated.
“A DIPA hopped with Citra, Simcoe, Amarillo, Azacca, and Santiam, papaya juice” from the Mystic site.
This description fits the taste profile.

Cloudy golden color with a 3F head in a Spielgelau IPA glass.

Citrus, tropical fruit, melon aroma.

Wonderful MF. Smooth, creamy.

More tropical fruit and citrus in the taste.

Tangy, hoppy finish.

Excellent beer!

From 02/24/16 notes. On tap at Gingerman in NYC.

Pours a hazy bright yellow color with one inch of white head and low carbonation evident. Brett, oranges, citrus, tropical fruits, Belgian yeast, spices, and bready malts. Medium body and low carbonation.

Overall a good IPA with that Mystic yeast to it; very good.

I'll keep this short. This is a hazy gold, juicy DIPA that has a very smooth feel and is very very drinkable at any ABV. Little bit too earthy in the finish. Super impressed considering I just heard of this brewery a few days ago. Outstanding if not world class.

Love all their beers but this is much more up my alley! And excellent double IPA. A real nice balance and the tropical flavors from the hops really stand out. Love it!
