L: Poured from a crowler to a snifter glass. Had a pale yellow color and a cloudy consistency. There was a half inch of foamy, very long-lasting head. A lot of lacing here.
S: A very nice aroma of hops, light fruit, citrus, and malt.
T: Tasted of a moderate amount of citrus fruit (orange, lemon, in particular), a bit of malt (mostly in the finish), a lot of hops, and a decent shot of tropical fruit (mango, passion fruit). A sweet, light, and fruity flavor. Not quite as hoppy as some of The Answer's other IPAs, but very to drink. Quite subtle and delicious.
F: A well-carbonated beer with a dry, smooth finish. Light- to medium-bodied.
O: An excellent and well made DIPA. very much worth a look.

Poured from a crowler into a tulip glass.
Pours a cloudy amber color with a finger of fluffy white head. The head leaves a nice ring of lacing as it settles into a thin sheet.
The aroma is shockingly dank. Smells like grass and weed with a touch of mangoes and fresh berries. The back end is full of citrus notes.
The flavor is quite complex, bringing notes of oranges and grapefruit up front, followed by a wave of mangoes, papaya and spearmint bubblegum. Finishes subtly spicy and piney with a touch of sweet malt.
The body is on the lighter side with moderate carbonation. Highly drinkable with some lingering bitterness.
Overall, a great DIPA that is exploding with mosaic hop flavor yet still manages to be incredibly drinkable. Very well done.

It's nice to see through a DIPA again, and all that veiwing fun under a sticky lace, as evidence of a once proud stark white plume of fluffy head. Nose may be the only not tremendous thing, as it's good, just not too complex. Probably due to the overwhelmingly sharp stab of dank bitter. Just doesn't let too much else get through. Taste pops grapefruit in the rawest sense while carrying with it the full support of a well thought out barley backbone. Bitter reigns in the otherwise dry finish. Very good variant.
