very hoppy ipa great thirst quencher

Pours peach colored with a thin head. It is hazy and aromatic. Aroma is mango with peach, bright and clean. The bitterness is mild and nicely complimented by the mango. It is hazy and nicely bodied. A delightful DIPA.

 

Was not a fan of this. Some hints of mango and some creaminess, but very little mouthfeel otherwise.

 

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on September 22, 2020. Meh.

A - pours a rather bright yellow orange color with a half inch of foam that settles to a good ring.
S - mangos straight-up mangos my goodness such sweet fruity hop aroma no real hot bitterness in the smell or ethanol tones
T- kind of like their last dipa very fruity balanced slight twang of bitterness rounding into the finish.
M - it's a bit heavier than the last beer not going to lie it has a bit of an ethanol twang but it's still very well-rounded and easy drinking
Overalls not a bad beer I did not expect as bad but it's still not terrible.

 

Very nice new imperial IPA sampled fresh at 18th Street Brewery. Pours a slightly hazy yellow color with just a little fluffy white head and small amounts of soapy lingering lacing. Big aromas of fresh ripe grapefruit, mango, orange, pineapple and some guava. Also some creamy vanilla, malt and bread. Taste follows the nose, well balanced and flavorful, good depth and juiciness. Almost like a New England style IPA. Smooth, clean, slightly sticky mouthfeel, soft, great carbonation. Very enjoyable!
