Just a slight haze on the bright yellow brew and plenty of foam in the tall Petrus goblet. Substantial malty body, even a bit sticky, but lush and frothy on the tongue. Aromatic with cedar and ripe apricots. Flavor of canned peaches, orange, and guava, or some some melange. Some tang to balance but not acidic.

They call this a double dry hopped DIPA. Moderate bitterness that doesn't dominate the aftertaste. So sweet and fruity, it's best for sipping. Vastly better than the NE murky versions of the big fruit IPA. From the 16 oz can purchased at Barons Market. Not dated.
