Very hazy deep orange color. Small head that quickly fades-zero lacing.

Smells of sweet mango, papaya, faint blueberries and something herbal that I cannot identify.

Taste is sweet mango and papaya. Faint blueberry and peach gummy candy. A touch of booze in the finish.

Light effervescent carbonation. Low but prickly. Medium-heavy mouthfeel.

The quality is there but too sweet for me. This is a monster and demands respect. The booziness doesn’t help either. I would have again but nothing I would seek out.

Appearance: poured a solid peach color with no translucence. Very little head that disappeared quickly.

Smell: oranges and peaches. Sweet and malty with a fragrance of citrusy hops.

Taste: oranges and apricots first come to mind. Touch of pineapple and mango. Very juicy and sweet. Heavily malt forward but still balanced out with the hops that lends a bitterness at the finish. Impressively balanced and easy to drink for a 10% IPA.

Mouthfeel: medium body, creamy. No alcohol presence.

Overall: really easy sipper without killing the palate.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 10/22/2019. Pours opaquely hazy deep golden amber/light orange color with a 1 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice dense spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of huge mandarin orange juice, mango, honeydew, watermelon, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, plum, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, guava, red apple, gooseberry, white grape/wine, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, honey, wheat, white bread dough, biscuit, light toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Amazing aromas with fantastic complexity and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge mandarin orange juice, mango, honeydew, watermelon, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, plum, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, guava, red apple, gooseberry, white grape/wine, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, honey, wheat, white bread dough, biscuit, light toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of mandarin orange juice, mango, honeydew, watermelon, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, plum, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, guava, red apple, gooseberry, white grape/wine, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, honey, wheat, white bread dough, biscuit, light toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Mild increasing warmth of 10% after the finish. Overall this is an amazing TIPA. All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to sip on for the big ABV, with the mellowly bitter/resinous/drying finish. Great soft/silky feel, and not aggressive. Feels like Citra, Nelson Sauvin, El Dorado. Extremely juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a nice sized wheat/oat/malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. Not overly sweet/heavy for the ABV. A highly enjoyable offering, and outstanding style example. One of the most stone fruit heavy smelling and tasting beers I've had!

 

 

 

Sampling a cellar temp 16 oz can poured into my snifter. The beer pours a bright and mostly clear orange color. A fizzy bleached white head of 2.5 cm foams up and fades to a thin edge layer and one large wispy island in the center of my glass. The aroma is citrusy notes of orange and tangerine notes and also a bit of pine sap and some floral notes too. definitely a hop forward beer with a little bit of a booze hint too.
So far this seems more of an old school IPA than new hazey brew.
The first sip reveals very fine and tingly carbonation with a sticky syrupy feel and fairly thick body.
The flavor is citrusy hops and some biscuity malts mixing up front. Some general sweetness of tangerine comes through as well and leaves a bit of coating on my lips at the start of each sip. Moves to a bit of pine and sap hop character but this isnt especially bitter, but just enough that isnt just a sweeter juicy hop profile. There isnt too much of a booze note which makes the 10% ABV a little dangerous to drink the can fast. This is an interesting DIPA and is a bit of a blend of old school west coast IPAs and the more current juicy IPA trend.
A pretty nice combo and a good one to try as a beer to see what is possible. Definitely worth trying.

L: Hazed medium golden pour with 2+ fingers of fluffy white head. Great retention and lacing.

S: Citrus and tropical fruit. Tangerine, mango, and pineapple. Juicy.

T/F: Tangy citrus... strong tangerine and tropical fruit. Pineapple, mango, and grapefruit. Medium bodied... sticky on the tongue. More fruit juice at the finish.
