This was poured into a tulip. The appearance was a hazy burnt orange color with a quickly dissipating head. Damn thing near just rode off into the sunset with no regards to lacing, hmmmm...one would suspect, but hey, here’s the rest. The aroma starts off with sweet passionfruit and papaya, very pronounced. Sweet grassy edge underneath. The flavor takes all of the previously mentioned aromas to sweetly boot in the face of danky sweet onion. Grassiness does come back to slide into aftertaste along with the passionfruit/papaya sweetness. Semi-dry sweet to bitter finish, somewhat sticky. On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with an acceptable stickiness, not cloying (almost) in the feel. Overall, very good tropical fruit flavored DIPA that I could have again.

I was really looking forward to trying this, but just wasn't into it. It kind of tasted like hop flavored water. The 0 IBU thing can be done well, though - I Want to BU was great!

Idc if this beer is 0 ibu b/c it is heavenly tart and bittersweet. Underripe strawberries. Pulpy lime and pineapple. Taste is good. It starts out heavy with passionfruit blitz, but unlike a guava juice which is thick and nectary, passionfruit is just thin. This leads to my biggest problem, which is the watery feel. Perhaps a slight pulpiness, but very blonde and bready; it lacks any sweetness at all.
