Had a short pint at the brewery today 7-15-22 for $6.00.
Beer was served pale with a nice white head.
Nose was citrusy and tropical fruit forward.
Taste was really well balanced with a light but substantial pale malt base that worked nicely with the orange, grapefruit, and mango. Finished very balanced; 5/10 on my scale.
Mouthfeel was light bodied and very refreshing.
Overall a nice representation of the DIPA style. Innovation is a solid IPA brewer!

Look: It pours golden with a white head that has good head retention.
Smell: There are aromas of stone fruit and some tropical fruits. There are moderates aromas of peach and light pineapple. There is a low level of grainy sweetness as well.
Taste; There are sweet fruit flavors highlighted by peach and pineapple with a bit of mango and background notes of grainy sweetness that is a bit bready.
Feel: It has a moderate body with some mild alcohol notes. The finish is a bit grainy as well.
Overall this is a flavorful combination of hops with the malt bill being highlighted in the aftertaste.
