Pours a foggy copper with a finger of a white foam. Aroma is lively even from a foot away. Black currant, black cherry, tangerine, and orange create a big aroma that makes an impression. Flavor profile is black current, orange, papaya, and tangerine. Flavor is weaker than the aroma. Mouth feel is medium in thickness with a still, smooth texture with a harsh carbonation on the tip of the tongue. Overall, big aroma with a flavor profile that falls short.
Served in a 12oz snifter from a 16oz can.

A: The beer is clear amber yellow in color and has a light amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that died down, consistently leaving a thin layer of bubbles covering the surface and a narrow collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of black currants are present in the nose along with hints of mangos.
T: The taste follows the smell, except that the combination of black currants and mangos somewhat resembles that of rosé wine.
M: It feels medium-bodied and somewhat dry on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This is an interesting take on a Brut IPA--in some aspects it almost seems like a rosé wine.

Amber copper color with a thick head with great retention.
Nice aroma with notes of guava (lots of it), mango, passion fruit and some Chardonnay.
Sweet flavor with notes of red berries, roses, sweet green grapes, caramel, grapefruit, toasted malts and pine. Dry and bitter aftertaste. Alcohol of 8.5% is felt in a flavor quality.
Medium to full body with perfect carbonation.
Maltier DIPA, at least for these times, with a rather original and complex flavor.
