Our flagship DIPA overwhelmingly dry-hopped with Mosaic and Simcoe.

Soft, smooth, dry and hugely hop-forward with notes of tropical fruit, pineapple, passion fruit and mango, balanced with hints of resin and pine.

Canned 713/23.

L: Pours a hazy deep gold with a big head that sticks. Impressively clumpy lacing.

S: Aromas of pineapple, mango and lemon, none prominent.

T: Tropical up front, citrus in the middle. Finishes dry and slightly bitter.

F: Medium mouthfeel and carbonation.

O: Nice pivot from tropical to citrus. Not as spectacular as on tap at the brewery a week ago, but solid.

Dark yellow color with a fairly pungent enticing hop aroma. Slightly sweet with some citrus and a lasting bitter finish. Feel was medium, maybe a little lighter than expected from the ABV.

16 oz. can. Murky orange. Smells of tropical fruit and strong pale malt sweetness. Tastes of tropical fruit with a tinge of passion fruit acidity. Sweet pale malt. Booze in the back end with a little earth and onion. Medium heavy. It's fine and it could be anyone's big sweet hazy IPA.

The beer pours a nice white and creamy head that dissipates quickly but still leaves some within the inside of the glass. The beer itself is a medium orange and yellow notes alongside a resinous texture that looks good.

The smell is delightful. It has a mix of tropical notes such as pineapple in the beginning and a mango note following it. The more bitter notes are present through the whole thing and is a grassy pine that is a nice contrast. There is a tiny bit of alcohol.

The taste is pretty good. It has a tropical fruit note upfront followed by the hop bitterness. The main difference is the tropical notes are more pronounced than the bitterness. There is also a more noticeable alcohol note in the finish.

The feel is good. It has a medium heavy body that is very slick with a bit of stickiness in the finish.

Overall, a pretty good beer worth getting.

Very nice hazy yellow with a two fingers white head.

I get a lot of guava and mango both in smell and taste. Quite dank

The mouthfeel is semid-dry with a nice juiciness.

Very nice Double NEIPA

Pale yellow-orange body, cloudy; thick, frothy white head. Dank hop aroma; dull and old citrus pith. Flat orange juice flavor and tartness; grapefruit; citrus acidic quality; powdered sugar. Medium-heavy body; dry and tart; coarse carbonation tickles the palate.

This DIPA from Virginia is pretty tasty and appealing all around, especially if you lean towards the New England/hazy side of IPAs.
