Packed to the brim with Nelson, Mosaic, and Citra hops, this majestic double IPA is an artfully conducted symphony with aromas of lychee. guava, tropical fruit, and just enough acidity to bring the whole shebang in for a landing with nary a bump. Taste the future again, for the first time.

Can poured into a Modern Times Beer glass
A: Pours hazy golden orange amber with a frothy cream white head that settles to a firm layer and laces nicely.
S: Super ripe exotic, tropical, and stone fruit, juicy citrus, light pine, floral notes, bready biscuity malt, and a solid hit of caramel sweetness.
T: Big almost over ripe exotic, tropical, and stone fruit, grilled pineapple, gooseberry, guava, apricot, lychee, white grape, mango nectar, and papaya, juicy citrus, mandarin orange, lemon lime, and a hint of grapefruit, a touch of resinous pine, floral notes, biscuity bready malt, plenty of caramel sweetness. A little alcohol can poke through ast it warms.
M: On the fuller side of medium body, moderate carbonation, kinda chewy.
O: Somehow this 8%er drinks like it's pushing 10% at times. Big, sweet, fairly solid malty base, and lets some alcohol poke through. My can wasn't the freshest, but I'd be lying if I said this wasn't a bit of a let down. Definitely expecting better given the brewery and the hops they got to play with.

12oz can bought in Dan Diego on Dec 19 2023 and was canned on sept 29. Poured into a wine glass. bright and slightly hazy. Nose was of pineapple and apricot. Slightly boozy and sharp on the back end. Taste was nice and balanced. Sweet and hoppy. Had wonderful apricot sweetness and a well rounded body without being too thick. Really tapered off as it sat so drink quickly as it did not hold. The only downside to this beer was the boozy sharpness at the tail end of the drink as the high abv wasn’t as well hidden as I’d like, but the flavor balance, color and fruity hop profile was right on point.
