We add tons of strawberry and kiwi purée along with cinnamon, honey, vanilla and milk sugar, and hop it with Citra, Kohatu and Cashmere.

Like kiwi? Like strawberry? You'll love this beer as it was chock full of those along with a ton of sweetness and fruit juiciness. Not a typical IPA by any stretch, there was a lot going on here but everything melded well together as nearly felt like a dessert beer - even by stylistic standards!
The pour to this was a murky, muddle peach with light seeping in near the top of the liquid. Not a lot of head topped this off as the lacing was mostly in the form of a thin ring near the top of my pint glass. Lots of dark sediment settled at the bottom of the liquid, which was surprising given that this wasn't terribly old. Of course, there was kiwi and strawberry in the nose as they were sweet, rustic, and lively from the first sip down to the last. Cinnamon spice, earthy peach, and natural sugar entered the fray as they were all present in the taste and enhanced the basic premise behind this beer. Sure, this felt a tad bit artificial but this was fun, enjoyable, and well-rounded as the honey and basic hops gave it all the body that it needed.
It felt a bit less potent than it's posted amount of alcohol indicated but this wasn't a pushover of a beer, by any stretch. Canned on 12/19/19 with "BURLINGANACHE" (or the like) written underneath that. The lingering sweetness and stickiness from the honey and soda-like liveliness held my attention but were just a bit too sweet for me to rate this beer any higher on here. Less puree and more body or presence of wheat/hops would have made me rate this higher but as it was, I enjoyed it as a pleasant diversion!
