Pours a hazy light orange with fine soapy head.

Smell is juicy, dank and a bit grassy. Notes of mango, citrus, melon and nectarine.

Taste is juicy and dank with a solid bitterness. Notes of melon, orange, grapefruit and grass. Quite a bit of hop burn.

Mouthfeel is meidum, soft, pillowy and well carbonated.

Overall, a very good DIPA with a bit too much burn for me.

Pours a hazy, matte, sludgy and completely opaque yellow-orange color. Thick three finger white sudsy head forms on the beer and then starts to recede leaving a thin residual layer of foam on top of the beer. In terms of appearance its a pretty standard NEIPA. Aroma has notes of papaya, mango, cream, grass, pine and vegetation. Its fruit forward, but does not seem overly sweet on the nose.

Taste has notes of tangerine, papaya, mango, along with a prominent piney and green grass character. There is some sweet vanilla cream like notes provided a restrained sweetness to the beer. There is a dank herbal character to the beer with some green grass and pine notes. Mild bitterness on the back end, but doesn't have much lingering power. Feel is medium bodied, smooth, with prickly carbonation.

Overall a very nice, very enjoyable beer. Thank you @Beersnake1!

Poured from a can at fridge temp. Pours a nice murky orange with white head. Nose is resin, citrus peel, tropical fruit, earth, and a bit of wood. It smells fresh and crisp. The taste nicely follows the nose. A mixture of sweet and bitter. The hops are quite apparent - a nice citrus peel taste comes through. However, it is nicely balanced with a fruity sweetness. Mango, oranges, papaya, and pineapple. Vanilla and marijuana come through after a bit. This is really balanced and easy to drink. A definite winner for me!

Sweet, tropical hoppy, and orange-lemony citrus nose on this one! Taste follows with a tropical hoppy, hint of citrus, and prominent earthy/grassy bitter finish. Nose>Taste IMO...and it's more juicy than soft on the palate. This is a little thinner than most Monkish DIPAs, but still pretty good.
