Tastes like passionfruit, guava, pineapple, juicy tropical mango, lime sorbet, fresh sweet orange peel, lemony citrus, grapefruit, grapes, lychee, caramelized bready oaty malts, with dank resinous green floral earthy herbal grassy pine.

Poured into a 13 oz Tired Hands Teku glass canned on 9/7/17. Pours a murky yellow with a 2 finger sticky white head that leaves thin wisps of lace behind.
Smell is guava, apricot, passion fruit, fresh green hops, pineapple, and grapefruit.
Taste follows tropical start to finish with mild grapefruit bitterness.
Mouthfeel is a big medium, gentle carbonation, juicy as hell, and at 8% ABV so darn drinkable.
Overall this belongs with all the great in this style. Thanks @jzeilinger for yet another great brew.

2 TH duds in a row? Bummed I traded Treehouse for this ...
3 hops but a muddle flavor. The pour is almost a chalky haze. The taste is highly acidic with a bad aftertaste that lingers.
I'm not sure if I'm missing anything besides hype but how is this rated a 4.3?

From 16oz can purchased on release at TH. Typically cloudy TH pour of muted golden yellow. Delicious on the nose and palate with a hint of sweetness, rather than tart citrus or bitter hoppiness. The 8% abv is well hidden. Very nice DIPA.

Canned on 9-07-17
A - Pours a murky, opaque medium golden tan color, pure white lacing that's frothy and sticky.
S - Citrus, passionfruit, grapefruit, and melon. All hops on the nose.
T - Nice citrus rind with peppery spiciness from start to finish. The first sip on a clean palate is an explosion of citrus and frutiness on the tongue. Melon, passionfruit, grapefruit, and citrus from start to finish.
M - Heavy medium body to full body, a little thin up front but thick on the backside. The mouth quickly gets coated with a healthy layer of spicy citrus and builds to a cotton-like texture.
O - Very flavorful! Pricey, but flavorful.
