From a growler, from Sam The Beer Man. Other than it is a DIPA, I don't know anything about it. Water Street's tap list on their website is blank at the moment.
Lightly hazy amber , with creamy, off-white, long-lasting head. Leaves 3/8" persistent lacing.
Aroma is of a balanced mix of grapefruit,tangerine, and candied pineapple, plus some hint of floral, malt, and alcohol.
Flavor is floral,honey,pine, caramel , finishing with a touch of citrus and turpenes? (piney hops + alcohol? - not quite "dank") . I mention noticeable alcohol , but it is pleasant, plays well with the other flavors, and is just barely there. Probably wouldn't notice if I wasn't reviewing, and so not thinking about it. Nice light bitterness throughout, lingering on the tip of the tongue for a few seconds after finish.
Feel is creamy, and super-smooth, with just the barest tingle after finish.
Overall, smooth, well-balanced, and easy-drinking. If you need a point of reference, think of fresh Flower Power , but a tad smoother/oily .Maybe if you mixed Ommegang's Great Beyond with Flower Power? As I mentioned, I don't know, but would guess 8-10% abv, by how it's drinking. (& how I feel after ~12 oz. ; ) )
