Too much malt, not enough hops, needs dry hops.

The beer comes in a clear medium to deep amber color.
The aroma offers sweet tropical fruits and citrus with peach, blood orange, candied grapefruit, along with rich caramel sweetness, with an underlying pine.
The flavor hits of pine up front, bitter earthy notes with a round mouthfeel with chewy bready malts, a medium caramel sweetness, with some more juicy peach, sugar coated grapefruit. The finish bitters out with some more pine bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium plus.
Different from some of their hazier beers, this comes off more as a West Coast style, in their first attempt at a DIPA.
