Hazy DIPA brimming with aroma from a healthy dry-hopping of Columbus, Mosaic, Idaho 7 and Citra. Pineapple flavors mix with resinous scents.

Poured a cloudy, reddish-brown almost copper body with minimal head and lace. Aroma is slightly acidic and tart with a burst of tropical fruit aromas as well. Smooth, fuller body, juicy sweetness balances with citric hops with an astringent bitterness that to me is like tartness. The finish is clean and smooth and the ABV is not noticeable and this beer is a dangerous sipper.

L: Had this beer on-tap at The Answer Brewpub, poured into a snifter glass. Had a pale yellow color and a cloudy consistency. There was a half inch of foamy, long-lasting head. Excellent lacing.
S: A super solid aroma of hops, malt, and citrus and tropical fruits.
T: Tasted of a mild bit of malt (not overly prevalent), lots of citrus fruit (grapefruit, for the most part), lots of hops (not too much, though), and some tropical fruit (mango). This is certainly a hop-forward flavor, but it's not one-note. The fruit elements offer a good counterbalance, giving it a sharp and lively quality. Quite tasty stuff.
F: A well-carbonated beer with a dry, smooth finish. Medium-bodied.
O: A well made DIPA. Definitely worth a try.
