Growler poured into shaker. Hazy lemonade yellow with a tall soft head that sticks around and coats the glass. Muted aromas of guava and pineapple. Taste and mouth feel are great. Overall, a very nice DIPA.

From a 1L growler, filled at the brewery 02/21/19. Served in a spiegelau IPA glass.

Pours a cloudy, pale grapefruit juice color with two fingers of fluffy, soft and soapy, white head. Retention is good and leaves a thick, pock-marked sheet of lacing. It’s not a super-exciting, lively looking beer but it does look totally appropriate to the style.

A robust, yeasty nose, sharp and clean with a whiff of bitter orange.

Taste is initially in line with the nose but takes an unexpected and not-particularly-welcome turn toward sweet, watery orange creamsicle. Decent enough, discernible bitterness of the sappy, balsam Christmas tree-like variety, but a mostly muddled palate finishing with a slippery, mildly saccharine aftertaste.

Feel is smooth, but thin, and somewhat slick, fairly light bodied, and just barely well-enough carbonated. A slick, slippery sensation lingers.

Overall, pretty much OK but I don’t expect I’ll revisit this one.

16 oz beer poured into a can glass canned on 9/13

A: Huge Soapy white head that settles to a film. Body is a murky tan goldish body.

S: Light bits of mango and pineapple some yeasty smell.

T: Tons of kiwi and passion fruit a light bit of chalkiness some bitterness.

M: Light to medium lower carbonation some chalkiness.

O: It’s not a bad beer at all it’s juicy but not crazy good either.
