Nice yellow almost hazy yellow. Dank aroma. Shockingly dry, a growing bitterness, very little malt. Tropical fruits eventually break through. More than adequate mouthfeel for a DIPA.

12oz can PKGD 08/03/23 poured into a Spiegelau IPA glass at fridge temp 8.3% ABV. The beer pours opaque, slightly hazy medium amber with khaki colored head. The head recedes to a thin cap and leaves rings of lacing. The aroma is moderate in strength featuring pine plus tropical and citrus fruit. The taste is bittersweet earthy, resinous tropical fruit layered on caramel malt. Moderate plus final bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation and a mostly dry finish. Overall, excellent IPA.

A fingers worth of densely packed whipped luscious light khaki colored froth... Excellent retention... Color is an ever so slightly hazed honey amber that is loaded with caring paced carbonation streaks... Nose is dank and slightly piney... Somewhat restrained but no doubt about the style... A strong piney resin botter kiss to start, but otherwise it is completely as expected... Medium bodied and lush to start with lots of prickly carbonation... Rock solid IPA with no real chinks in the armor... Possibly the best looking IPA I've seen in a long long time...

Smooth , clean with a hop bite on the finish

Good beer

A - Pours out a mostly transparent pale orange, with a short white head that reduces to a thin cap, some small bubble lacing.

S - Pine, orange creme, and earthy hop notes, with strong fruit sweetness at the core.

T - Follows the nose, with the citrus coming forward with some moderate sweetness through the middle, but a close that is strongly bitter snap, inviting another drink.

M - Moderate weight, decently carbonated, with a subtle build of dryness over time.

O - Does not really live up to the hype, but a decent, drinkable DIPA.

Poured from the can into a Spiegelau IPA glass. Canned Oct 12th 2022.

Beaming crystal clear bronze body, with a brass dark orange glimmering shine. Reams of fine carbonation plentiful and lengthy, reaching to a foam forming superfine bubbled three to four finger off white head. The head creation is one of the tiniest I have ever seen on an IPA, nearly nitrous looking out of the can. Big classic retention and a cream top complete a near perfect look.

Tea and caramel notes on the nose complete a balanced aroma on first exploration. Soft herbs and a sweet hint of crispy caramel sweetness keep things solid. Not so much hop forward at first but slowly revealst it's self. There's some degree of exotic citrus and a unique sweetness that's hard to pinpoint. It's a very unique and distinct old school hop angle it seems, but very impressive.

Palate seem to be right on. Classic hinting West coast like flavor, sorta? but has a pine action East?. Soft caramel with some pine and citrus action and an aftertaste that is very unique. Creamy flavors in the mid palate with an excellent slow explosive heat of pine and astringency. The aftertaste bitterness really slowly builds and almost goes into a chile like experience of heat.

This is a fun and neat throwback of a beer. Very distinct and enjoyable.
