Can from the source. Its a rich DIPA still, but why so boozy? Detracts from being better than average. Still drinkable but seems even higher than listed abv.

Can says double dry- hopped with Denali, Azacca and Citrus hops
Pours opaque bright orange gold with a 3 finger off-white foamy head.
Aromatics are off the charts with sweet tropical fruit and peach
Peach and pineapple mostly in the flavor - almost feels like adjunct it is so pungent. Malt is way lost here, just lots of true juicy flavor (I mean it literally tastes like fruit juice),
Feel is very very soft and pulpy, with a moderate seltzer that gives the feel of juice soda. Bitterness is not really present. An alcohol burn comes in moderately strong in the finish.
This is a stupendously made juice bomb - pretty amazing in that it is the most real-like juice I have ever tried. I get it - not for everyone. And if that does not sound good to you then you definitely should not try it. However for those willingly to try out an epitomal juice bomb this is a must have.
This is arguably what they were after and whether you like that style or not it was made amazingly well. That is why I have given it a very high score. Because it stands out among a very crowded field of almost-theres.

Peachy and pineapple topnotes (hard to discern) and a tingle of bubbles followed by a malty citrus that finishes quite clean for a high AC DIPA (8.8).
